Thanks MD,

I'll trawl through these other forums. As a side note, I think the fault may lie with the motherboard.

I tried to power up before, All looked ok, but the darn thing wouldn't boot at all! all the lights flashed and the fans spun, but no beeps, nothing After striping the pc down and trying a different PSU I was still getting the same.

As a last resort I cleared the CMOS, HURRAH! Back in business.

I have left the new PSU in and am just giving it a test.

This is really getting ridiculous now.

I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard!

Thanks Again, I'll keep posting/Lookin for solutins!

Dweeb

did you reinstall windows after you upgraded? shouldnt really make a difference but then again maybe it will
your temps look fine so i doubt that is the issue.
power supplies can be tricky.. they may look ok but still cause problems. what psu do you have?
if your ram passed the memtest id say its ok. try running with just one stick anyway just in case. try each stick seperately in different slots and test for stability.

Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

That's what I just decided to do - re install XP! But it locks before setup completes!

Had a tip off that the latest pc chips bios is not too reliable with my chip so just trying to get older bios to give it a try!

Dweeb.
