Argh. so - instead of changing the PSU, the obvious culprit, you got a new board AND USED THE SAME PSU? I am just saying - one faulty PSU fried three of my boards. Enermax... will never buy again. The fans spin, so not all hope is lost. Keyboard, ps/2? usb? But before you do anything else, change the PSU. -- #163933
