Just replaced PSU, can't get PC to power up

Roger that.

Bumped up the DRAM to the voltage you said.
Seemed ok.

I'll drop the NB down to auto and see how that goes.

I've manually set my ram timings to those above.

Will do that then install the last stick of Ram.

I just need to check my Tban fan controller is working as that seems a bit hazy on the fan speed.

But other than that should be good.

Appreciate the all the help here

A shot in the dark - if you have a floppy drive, check that you haven't misplaced the connector (I had a friend do that - with a cheap PSU - and melted the insulation on the cables - smoke everywhere - very spectacular!)

Think I've sorted the usb issue, found a spare cable hanging around the back, plugged it in and it looks ok.

My only issue now is trying to get this blastard last stick of RAM to work

3 sticks in and ok, but the 4th doesn't like it, stalls at bios, slowly upping the NB voltage now hopefully something will change.

Should I be changing any other ram settings to help it along?

Well I have to admit defeat on this, I can only get it to work with 3 sticks

My inside left stick just will not allow the system to boot.

It will post but then hangs on the loading screen, I'm hanging where it says "Initialzing USB Controllers"

If I take that stick out it works fine.

Seeing as I'm only XP 32 I'm only losing 250k memory so I guess I can live with that.

Tried everything else darent push the RAM voltage or NB up any more so nocking them down to lower levels and will just run 3 sticks, hope this wont perform too badly now.

Does the last stick that is making fail boot on it's own?

[kinkladze10]

Good question, I'll need to check that at some point.
Just found out I've lost all my sound now grrr
