I have a Core2 Quad, PC Chips P55G MB, XP Pro X64 OS, 200GB SATA HD with4GB RAM installed a dual channel. I don't know that much about it but this was listed on my invoice. It is about a year old. In Aug. a few times it hung on the BIOS and never got to the Windows page when I tried to boot. If I shut it down with the power button, it would usually reboot OK. Then it wouldn't boot at all. I could hear the fan running but nothing happened. I did get it to boot a few times by removing the video and audio cards and plugging into the MB but the screen resolution was big and I couldn't adjust it. Then it wouldn't boot at all, the fnas wouldn't go on, nothing worked. I bought a new power supply and I think it booted once or 2ce and wouldn't boot again. I sent it back to the people I bought it from in another state. They said it booted every time with no problem. When I got it back, it wouldn't boot, no lights, no fan. Then I tried plugging into another socket and it booted perfectly. The next morning I tried to run it, it was dead again. I have tried several power cords, several sockets, left it off for a few hours and tried again. It still won't boot. Please HELP!!!

Thanks,
