Figures....... My current gaming box suddenly started shutting down every time I tried to boot an OS*, be it Windows or Linux, on the hard drive or via install disc and Live CD.
Checking the capacitors....... Sure enough, one had started to leak while four are bulging.
I guess I was fortunate to get four years of excellent use. I was hoping it'll last five years before I assemble a new one.
*Strangely enough, my Amiga Forever cd seems to boot up fine. But that's it. Linux and Windows crashed and burned each time.
Gee. My (wife's) Athlon XP 1700+ pc (ASUS A7M266/AMD761 chipset/768mb ram) has outlasted it too.
In the meantime........ Man, this sucks.
