omfg.  the shuttle died today, left the room for a minute after updating ETQW beta and playing it for a bit, came back to a PC whic was turned off.

Tried to power it up a few times, get haflway though BIOS bits, then powers off again.  once it even got to Windows XP progress bar, showed some error dialog then died again.

After that, all I get is no POST, no error code beeps, no video.  Even after removing *everything* apart from the CPU, it's the same.

Currently, it powers on, the fans spin and thats it, just sits there doing nothing, still no POST or error codes.

Anyway, I know a few ppl here have this type of shuttle, *looking over at molc*,  wondering if any of you have seen or heard of this before, is there anything I can do with it to recover?

Offline for gaming till I get it back or build a new one, will be around IRC and forums for the lol.

 :salute:

Actually Danny is the man that had one. Alas his plonked its feet in the air also and died on him over time.

One thing, if you took everything out except the CPU, it can't post. New systems need a gfx card  and ram in there to work afaik.

Also, try the usual popping out the ram and reseating it, followed by booting from a linux boot disk like system rescue cd (http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page). IF you can get this far, then at least the mobo and CPU is fine. and you still have a working system. If not, you're boned pretty much.

After that, pop a drive in and see can you install windows and go from there.

I'm sure this is recapping stuff you've already done but it's my only idea tbh. Oh, and the sata controllers on those mobo's are kinda dodge so try popping in an ide drive for testing...

PSU given up the go maybe?

Could not be getting enough power to everything to run it all.

Thanks to fr0d0 and his old shuttle, mine is back!  \o/
