I seriously doubt that it's the case fans that are causing your system
to not start up. FWIW... I have four systems at the house and not one of them has a case fan installed and running. I am not aware of a system (most likely a BIOS function) that prevents booting due to a case fan not hooked up. Many have BIOS function that shuts down a system if the cpu fan is not funtioning or the heat reaches a specific temperature. You would need to give us more info in order to get a better idea what your situation is. 1. What happens when you attempt to start your system? What do you see or hear? 2. Do you hear a beep or a series of beeps? 3. Did you recently perform ANY software or hardward upgrades? 4. Is is possible that you system got an electrical spike? 5. Have you replaced the battery on the motherboard? (It may have gone bad) 6. Have you checked for any loose cables? 7. Did you recently attempt to flash the BIOS? Suggestions: 1. Reseat the AGP video card. try to start system 2. Reseat the ram. try to start system 3. Take a close look at the motherboard to see if it is being shorted out by any of the screws. (holding it to the case) 4. If there is any dust on the inside of the case... blow it out. 5. Replace the battery. (very inexpensive.... buck or two) 6. Swap out the power supply if you have another one handy. Post back and let us know of your progress. Good luck! ================================================== ============================ ".·°^°·.+Nick S+.·°^°·." wrote in message ... ok, I've opened the case , and the case fan, ( not the processor fan) isn't spinning ....could this be the prob - IE - the pc thinks it's not working and shuts down ?
