Well..ive had my share of compmant failures over the years. Ive had a bad power supply, then replaced it, and that power supply was bad too. Luckily a multi tester can find that problem.
If youve run a memory test program and everything checks out, maybe your vid card is shooting the craps, or overheating. Or gets crappy when its hot. Bad connects or cracked traces can work good until they get warm. I just had my ti4200 shoot the craps. if it wasnt for the strange colors popping up just before it crashed, i would still be pulling my hair.

Damn.

No beeps or anything on post?

Do you have any idea what your temps have been? Did you accidentally fry your processor?

(yuck on downward nipples whitehawk - I didn't need that visual image...

No beeps at all. My temps were all normal because my board had an emergency shutdown if the temp. got too high. I don't think I fried my processor cause it acted the same way before the new power supply was put in, but it started up fine after I installed the new supply. (BTW: My processor is an Althon XP 1100...hardly worth crying about if I *DID* fry it...yay! Excuse to upgrade!
