So, uh... computer went completely dead on me while playing Crysis. Upon trying to turn it on again, I get an odd little "fweep" sound, the power light flickers on for a split second, and that's it. No fans come on, nothing. Cycling the power supply and pressing power on the mobo/case gives me...

Jeez, you're awesome! Wasn't expecting such a prompt and thorough reply. About the mobo: That thing's got great reviews (particularly in the area of overclocking), but what exactly am I getting compared to the other one? I'm just curious. The north bridge chip is different; I'm guessing...

I made a thread a while ago, and you guys helped me get my feet off the ground. Thanks to all of you! The PC I'm looking to build now is drastically different than what I initially started with, so I figure it deserves a new thread (rather than bump the old one and cause all kinds of confusion)...

So, for the past six (or more!) years, I've been stuck with a garbage computer struggling to play recent games, and I've finally realized it's about time to give it up. Half-Life 2 was the last game I played comfortably, and new games using its engine I've found to be unplayable. So, I'm ready...
