Re: [PLUG] Re: System Crash

Hey, kenny.  I think I have your solution.

I've had this exact problem with some of my systems at work (ASUS P2L97
boards, no less).  There are two possibilities:

1) Your system has received a physical shock causing the CPU to become
misaligned.  Remove and reseat the CPU (including any support for the
cooling element).  Try this a couple of times until it works.

2) Your power supply is hosed.  Replacement with a new ATX power supply
will fix this.  I would recommend that you try to borrow one first.

I have had these exat symptoms before, and and it tends to be the former,
but I have had a case of the latter.

Good luck.
