When did this start happening ? was it running at that time?
did you do something in the Comp. and wouldnt start up any more?

this happened once to my system… may have to check the m/b bios, it maybe corrupt… if so, not good

Well a 2200+ @ 200fsb is tad much for a 266 proc.

i just push the cpu heatsink very slow then after 10mins it turn off. i have running my cpu @ 10x200 for almost 6months i guess no prob.. now my mobo is dead. im planning to buy epox 8rda3g. is that a good moBo?

So you had the PC running and you moved the heatsink and then the pc shut off?

Could have damaged it there remove the CPU cooler to see if there is a small piece missing from the core, happend to me once very tiny corner broke off, needed another CPU

Yea i did that with a water block...if you are lucky you might have tripped the system try taking the power play out of the PC....wait and then put it back in and try to power it up.

Dom

Did you try resetting your CMOS?
