Hi all,

I emailed some time back re: a system I put together that kept crashing
during Win98 Setup.  I finally solved the problem by swapping the
Gigabyte Mboard for an Asus board and slowing the CPU and memory
frequencies to 90Mhz instead of 100Mhz.

It worked fine for a week, during which time I even set it up to dual
boot Win98SE and Linux.  I was using it the Saturday night before last,
and when I finished I shut it down, went to bed and turned it on again
Sunday and nothing happened.  Display wouldn't light up and no Hard Disk
activity is evident.  It hasn't worked since.  I have tried replacing
the PCI Video with AGP, and even put the whole system in a different
case - to no avail.

What would cause the system to die like this, when I used it the night
before???  Note that there didn't appear to be any storm activity
around.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks
Neville Valentic
