    Hello to all,
     I just replaced the power supply with a 430 watt Thermaltake, good news, bad news!
     Good news, the computer boots up
     Bad news, it does the same old thing as the old psu, computer, hard drives, everything in the case starts and beeps,etc, but the monitor satys in the sleep mode and no keyboard, mouse,etc., with the graphic card plugged into the new MoBo!!!

    I need the big guns to answer this I think,

      Helloooo? Is this too hard to fix over the internet? Does anyone want more info from me about any other stuff on the computer? How do I find a reliable tech locally, I'm north of Orlando?

        Sorry Rich, I'm mostly out of ideas.
        Do you have a monitor you can plug into the onboard video, on the motherboard?
        I'd try that.

          Thanks everyone. I'll take it to a local computer fixit shop and let you all know what happens. At this point, it would have been cheaper to give this desktop to my wife for the internet and just go buy a new desktop for the Photoshop stuff! I've seen desktops now for under $600 and really loaded, compared to this old clunker!!!
          Thanks again,

            Hello again,
             I took the desktop to Compusa on Monday, they had a free inspection special this weekend, and they fixed it. Not totally sure what they did, something like switching the primary graphics card adapter to AGP.

            Anyway, the tech said the first guy who changed out the mother board in the first place should have know to do this.  Everything is working fine now and wanted to let ewveryone that helped know the out come. Thanks again for all the suggestions,

              Yepper, Rockerest be "da Man", if only I could have understood what he was saying, it would have saved a lot of time and $$$. Like I said before, I'm just a simple photographer. Thanks Rockerfest!
