I was fortunate to have had an FDC failure and subsequently a chip on my motherboard starting smoking. Also at this stage I was unable to boot my computer up at all. I also then witnessed what can only be described as a flash bang. At this stage no power went through my computer.
So I went out and bought a new motherboard, new floppy drive, new power supply. Yet my computer still does not boot and though there is power running through the computer (all three lights on the keyboard - num lock, scroll lock, caps lock - light up) there is still no action from anything else. The CPU fan sits idle and does not spin, the hard drive doesn't kick in. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER??
Any advice or help would be much appreciated as the neighbours dog (pet, not wife) is becoming an attractive target for my anger.
Thanks
