I can empathize! Take a deep breath! When something like this happens, your emotions really keep you from thinking clearly. You need to think about what might have happened.

I really am not familiar with this rig, are we talking about the Blizzard PPC card? I took a look over on BBOAH; I see the fan is not cooling the CPU. What is it cooling?

Was this thing working when you discovered you needed a replacement fan?

Have you been taking anti-static precautions?

Sounds like the 1200 boots but not the PPC card, correct?

Try removing the PPC card, uninstalling any driver software that it takes and re-installing the hardware & software from scratch.

If you can give more info, someone might have more ideas. Maybe someone with hands on experience with this hardware.

Good Luck!

What makes you think it doesn't cool the CPU?


So this board has two CPUs on it? I guess the other one is a 680x0 of some sort. I didn't realize that last night.
