G'Day wolfwiser,

I have just read the other thread inwhich you showed those photos, and subsequently replaced your motherboard.

Now what we need to know now is, what other components did you replace with the motherboard? The reason for asking this is that there is a strong possiblilty that when the last board 'fried' on you it might have taken out other components; such as, the CPU etc., and if you transferred any of them to this new board, they could be giving you grief now.

One stupid question though....have you made sure that all the mounting screws are insulated from the metal case mount, so as not to cause a short circuit?
