Have you tried basic troubleshooting like removing all the drives and cards and reseating the memory then powering it up? If that doesn't work, remove everything except the processor and power it up. It should give you some beep codes (memory or video) if the board and processor are working.

Yup - tried all that.... no change to the reported symptoms.

I've just ordered a 'drop in' motherboard bundle - let's hope that fixes it (after all - there's not much else to go wrong !)

Thanks
