If you laid it on its side and then it worked, it would be a good guess that one or more of the cards was loose, and reseated when you laid it down (gravity at work). You should lay it down again, unplug the power cord, ground yourself on the chassis, push each card until it's seated, and make sure the the hold down screw is in tight.


>     I just put a Comp together P166 on a Gigabyte GA-586TX3 Mother board.  Every thing went fine untill the last time I wanted to boot .  It would boot up untill I got the message that plug and play cards were beeing initailized and then stop !
>    After several attempts I laid the case on the side to see if somthing was loose (didn't touch anything!) sat it back up and it worked fine???? Any hints as to what's going on, the thing should allways start!
