Please help me!
I got a new Shuttle SN45G today, with the following:
new Athlon XP2500+
new 1gb TwinMOS DDR400 ram (2x512mb)
new Radeon 9800Pro 128mb
old HDD (with win XP pre installed)
old DVD-ROM drive
To start with, I could get into the bios. Had a fiddle round, got everything looking good (should have all been ok) then rebooted. Wouldn't boot into windows. It got as far as the enter safemode menu, made the choice (tried safemode and normal) then pc would just restart. Played around with the bios a bit, tried different mem and cpu settings. No joy.
Then after making another change to the mem in bios (put it back to auto I think), it now wont even POST. I cannot get into the BIOS! I have tried resetting CMOS using jumpers, using soft, even pulling the bios battery, but it either won't reset, or it has done but still won't let me in the bios or POST.
All it does now is power on (ICE fan starts but does not regulate itself, it stays on full power). Any ideas?
Please help me!

. If that is what has happened then you will have to RMA it
, just like my old SN45G. That sounds pretty much like what happened to mine. I set the voltage to something other than Auto and rebooted. First boot went fine, except Prime 95 said there was an instability in the system. So I rebooted to go back into the BIOS and it didn't do anything apart from the drives and fan spinning up. So I sent it back, and got a new case and motherboard along with a PSU that sounds like a ticking bomb.
