Computer not booting up

Actually it's more like to be the IDE cable or the IDE port on the motherboard that is causing the problem...

Glad you could get your stuff of it though.

I thought you were thinking is was the power supply? If you think is the IDE cable I can replace that easy enough. But how can I check to see if it's the port?:confused:

Good article CCT. Twigs, you should follow that...
As for telling whether it's the motherboard or not... change the cable for one that is known good. The hard drive has already been tested at work, so that leaves the port (or possibly misconfigured drives, or bioslimitations).

Can you still get this Soyo SY-6BA+ motherboard are something like it?
I replaced the power supply and still have the same original problem.

Only on something like ebay...

I found one for $30.

Make sure that you can send it back if it's faulty!
