Wizard1956 is NO LONGER MIA!!!!!
Wiz go POOF!!
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Wizard 1956 asked me to let everyone know that his PC has bitten the dust. He woke it up from sleep mode, the cursor would not respond. He switched mice, nada. Started up in safe mode, still nothing. Shut down and restarted and now it won't boot at all. Unplugged it for 1 1/2 hours, still nada. Will not boot from any CD/DVD drives. Hard drive indicator flickers once or twice....nada. Fans run, power light is on.
I believe it is a power supply. It has an awesome 250 watt unit!! And an upgrade graphics card and 2 GB ram. He just reinstalled. Bummer...... He is currently unemployed and therefore will not be getting it fixed soon. So he wanted me to let everyone know why he won't be around for a while.
He also say: "Yrag, if you're listening, HELP!!! I need the Duck!!"

Well how about that! I just got on after doing a bunch of website stuff this evening and it sounds rather good their Wizard.
I'm glad things worked out for ya. I was a bit worried about that cpu really. Don't much care for em. But no matter - it really sounds like a power surge now more than anything else. So keep that thing going and I'd be think about getting something new maybe in the long run soon.

good hardware problems is always a bia**h... i usually blame the PSU or RAM 
and some times the GFX ohh and i almost forgot the mobo... then there are the hdd's... even blamed the monitor once... BUT I HAVE NEVER BLAMED the cpu.. just the bios not giving any love to the new one 
...so all in all its all human error?!

After trying everything yrag suggested,we were consigned to repairing it.After cleaning the inside of the case I decided to unplug everything on the mobo and reconnect it. I didn't find anything loose so I suspect this served to reset things and its's all good to go now.
Your advice may have been right on the money,Shelbygt_the_Car! Btw, I think WC is the greatest community on the planet.
