LOL.. i like how my "having a go at crono"
in all the time i have been here, is such a mild difference of opinion been reduced to that one term 
i just got in, from a long run and was near sleep.
sue me 
my first comment on this page, was heart felt.. learn from it people. you won't see it often, and its meant in the exact spirit it was typed in 
to clarify my comment, he mentioned a game, that was all i read.. i left the opinion extremely open ended..

huh?!?!
links are yellow for one, and i wouldn't know how to fake one.
its just and underlined comment to make it more pronounced, i could type it in caps, but its hardly worth yelling it to anyone :/
[addsig]ahh. maybe the wrong smilie, but you normally pick up on my humour quicker than that.
agreed, on the snarkpit links are yellow, but whenever i see underline, i think it's a link too. don't you?
Crono: I hope to god it's not the CPU. I can't afford a new one and I don't think the warranty on this still exists, or whether it even has one. I will check for burn marks, but they might not be obvious to find?
Orpheus: It doesn't even go that far into the boot. Just recieves power and stays put.
Wild Card: I replaced the CMOS battery. No use. I checked for loose connections everywhere, will check again. All IDE cables are fine.
Forceflow: already done mate. No use.
Leperous: Do you have any idea what the problem was? I suppose that could be some help here...
Scary-jeff: I tried removing everything and running it, absolutely no avail. It just doesn't respond. I'm working on trying to get someones PSU and check. I hope it's something as simple as a PSU
*sigh* I've called my supplier in to take a look. I have a bad feeling about this 
Things have been seriously screwed up in my life over the past few weeks... (/me will go an wallow in self pity elsewhere). Now I don't even have internet access all through the day. Just whenever I can get at the laptop Sorry for all the short responses but my time is up (in so many different ways)
sizzled electronics, have a distinct odor, even if only slightly fried.
my old 1.4 athlon recently smoked.. it made sizzled noises, and shut off.. i could find nothing obviously burnt.. and had i not witnessed it when it happened, i would have pawned it off as something minor..
use your ol' sniffer, its distinct..

| Voltage problems should be recognised in under a second, I believe; shouldn't modern processors be fairly protected against things like this? (barring power surges) |
Generic PSUs tend to fry stuff. They have spikes and brownouts all the time. I had a similar sounding issue with my friend's computer. I was playing BF1942 and the computer just shut off for no reason. The PSU blew and took the CPU/Motherboard with it.
