When I replaced my mobo I also replaced the PSU, RAM, cpu fan but the graphics card, TV tuner, 56k modem (although unused) and hard drives remain the same. I have been using my PC without issue for about 6 weeks. I have also added case fans as I noticed that my HD temperatures were a little on the high side.

What also adds to complications is that it had previously shut down with no problems whatsoever. I know the PC is clean from viruses/spyware.

Now this may seem a little strange but I had my new central heating system installed in my house on the same day so the ambient temperature may have risen slightly (only to ~23°C though) - though I gues this is just coincidence.

As my new mobo has built in graphics I can easily ditch my graphics card, but I have not had time yet to strip it to the barebones to see if it will POST. I have noticed that I a quick spin of my fans when I try to switch it on, only for milliseconds though.

How could everything seem fine and then it won't even POST???
