Hi Amy,

I am joining this thread a bit late, but it seems to me that you may have a
video CONFIGURATION problem. Have you tried booting in safe mode? Also, it
may be worth re-installing Windows. You could install an alternate boot -
install Windows into a folder named WinAlt for example. That would tell you
if the hardware is working properly or not. If the new install works, then
your old installation of Windows is corrupt. If the new install does not
work either, then I would start looking at hardware issues.

Thanks for the reply. The PC does begin to boot normally, all fans are
spinning, all lights are on.
Just before the icons load on the screen, the monitor goes out, the power
indicator shows it to be in standby mode, that is, the light is yellow
instead of green. At the very same time, the ethernet light also goes out. I
think that you are probably right about the ethernet issue being a symptom.
Even after the monitor is "out" the power light on the PC is still on, the
fans are still spinning. I can hear and see them spinning. Do you still
think that the power supply is the culprit?

Thanks again, Amy Ledford
