provoke a reboot?



Did you build this system yourself or have a friend or local company
build it? It sounds like maybe a motherboard standoff wasn't put in
where needed and the m/b is shorting out. Or maybe the m/b is touching
the case. I'd strip the machine down to the bottom, go over everything
carefully - including those all-important standoffs - and only add one
card at a time, testing after each addition.

A friend built it. Are you saying this because I left it laying on its side? It still hasn't rebooted after being left on all night long, about 16 hours straight. The mouse is USB but I am using a converter and plugging it into the mouse port. The USB and the coverter/adapter do not fit in snugly.

Thanks,
