I have had my Shuttle PC for the best part of six months. everything was fine until tonight. Came home switched on and everything went wrong.
Normally once I have shut down the PC Iswitch off the mainsat the wall leaving the switch on the PC in the on position. this means I can switch on the mains press the power button on the PC and away we go.
Tonight is different. As soon as I switch on the main all the psu and ice cooling fans run at high speed even though the PC is still "switched off"
If I press the power button it illuminates and the fan speed decreases. But I get no display or post / boot activity. Other than to notice that the monitor goes into standby mode once I press the power button. The fan on the video card only comes on when I press the power button so I am assuming that the video card, an XFX 8800 GT ddr3, is fine
I have reseated all components checked for loose connections and reset the CMOs. nothing makes any difference.
I assume I have a major fault somewhere on the motherboard.
So before I contact the supplier in the morning I was hoping maybe someone may have a miracle fix or at least confirm my suspicion that this PC needs replacing.
Kind regards and hpoing for the best
