By "spins once" you mean the fans make about one turn and then stop? Sounds like a bad power supply to me. I hope it hasn't damaged your mobo. FreeGeek sells power supplies cheap. If you're friendly, the folks in the thrift store might let you bring in your machine, test your power supply there and try one of theirs. _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug
