It came back on briefly and then shut off again, followed by the smell of overheated electronics. Disconnected the power and opened it up. Nothing was visibly smoking. Took everything apart. Inspected the CPU and it appeared ok. Replaced the thermal compound and re-seated the heatsink. Smell appeared to be coming from the power supply but I can't be positive. Put the bare essentials backtogether (CPU, RAM, video card) and powered it back on. Getting a variety of beep and error codes from the on-board diagnostic unit. At first there was a 1 long, 3 short beep code for the RAM . Reseated and it's gone. POST sequence was hanging on 8.7. (Check CPU Voltage) and now it's hanging on 8.2. (Check Power Supply).
