| | Miscellaneous Hardware: Cannot get into Win XP, lots of different errors, computer restarts and crashes... |
 | | Hi there, unfortunately the PC no longer boots (fans spin for 1 second then it powers down) so i cannot perform these tests, however it fails to boot whether either of the ram modules i have are installed on the motherboard. |
 | | Try checking the connection from the power supply to your motherboard, if there is a funny smell it might be beacuse the pins were burnt out for some reason, i had this not long ago, check for burn marks on the actual power supply connector to the motherboard to see if this is the problem. |
 | | Sorry for the slow reply, on inspection of the components, i unplugged the power supply from the motherboard, on several of the connection on the atx socket the plastic had gone fl and melted on both the powersupply connection and motherboard. |
