[11:21] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[13:43] <dscassel> morning, BluesKaj
[13:43] <dscassel> Off to FSOSS today! :D
[13:59] <BluesKaj> hi dscassel
[14:03]  * genii-around makes more coffee
[14:05] <genii-around> BluesKaj: He's probably busy working on his presentation tomorrow!
[14:06] <BluesKaj> yeah genii-around , hi ..I missed his greeting by 20 mins
[14:07] <BluesKaj>  my other linux box seems kaput , powers up then stops , nothing loads , no signal to the monitor ...think the mobo is borked , but i'd better check PSU and reseat RAM cards first
[14:08] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Do the three keyboard lights all blink once together? If so then then the motherboard is passing it's POST test
[14:09] <BluesKaj> no lights on the KB ot mouse
[14:09] <BluesKaj> or
[14:10] <BluesKaj> the power indicator on the front of the pc blinks even after I pull the power cord
[14:10] <BluesKaj> battery i guess , or caps discharging in the PSU
[14:10] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Right after power-on, if the lights on keyboard ( numlock scrolllock capslock ) don't all blink one time together, odds are motherboard is kaput
[14:10] <genii-around> ( or PSU gone )
[14:12] <BluesKaj> PSU and fan turns on and for 2-3 secs then stops
[14:14] <genii-around> Yeah maybe see if it works with a known-good PSU
[14:20] <BluesKaj> the KB lights lit up for a sec just now , then went out when the psu stopped
[14:21] <genii-around> So like 99% it's the power supply then
[14:24] <BluesKaj> yeah, I kinda hoped ..a lot easier to replace from the "work" standpoint...I removed the graphics card just previous to this problem and installed in this pc ,,, gonna install the 8400gs in wifes pc
[14:28] <BluesKaj> wonder if I damaged the mobo when I removed the gfx card , it was tough to remove , like it was glued in somehow
[14:29] <BluesKaj> I don't see any cracks
[14:34] <genii-around> Does the slot wiggle back and forth?
[14:36] <BluesKaj> lemme check
[14:37] <BluesKaj> no , it's solid
[14:39] <genii-around> Should be fine
[14:45] <BluesKaj> so PSU is probly the culprit and the pc not working after removing the gfx card is just coincidence ?
[14:49] <genii-around> I would think so, yes
[14:50] <BluesKaj> ok , gonna look for some 400w PSUs
[17:21] <BluesKaj> BBL ...stuff to do
