DOH! NOW I know why my home build PC isn't working. I also made the "often made" mistake of forgetting the Power Supply.

So you have decent memory which has been thoroughly tested, a hard disk drive which matches it's controller, no hot spots [espcially around the cpu,3D graphics card and northbridge], well sorted BIOS, no interupt conflicts, a decent OS and compatible drivers for each device, then yeah, it's probably the power supply.

Personally, the Zalman flower fans look very attractive to me... not in a visual sense, but an auditory one.
They look very attractive in an auditory sense? I think I see what you're saying....
