It sounds like your problem has nothing to do with latest updates :-( Check is there any lights on computer, any noise. If yes, than opening the box is next step. Reseat all components, RAM first, than all cables you can see. Power on. If nothing happens. Strip down all components on motherboard to bare minimum ie.: - power supply - one RAM module and - graphic adapter If you have known good components use them. It will tell you on the spot is motherboard OK or not. Try to reboot. If nothing happens look to reset CMOS RAM, usually there is some jumper, or simply pull the battery out and replace it. Don't rush, let capacitors discharge. Power on. If nothing. Do as you already did replace graphic adapter, than RAM, power supply one at the time and power on to check is there any changes. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
