I have had similar problems as above having to replace two PSUs and Motherboard. That said it has been in almost constant use for 2.5 years so can`t complain ... it is however about to be cosigned to the spare room!

Had this machine for years and it still works fine, about to get a new graphics card, and wondering what the problem with the motherboard is? I haven`t had any problems with this computer, it`s not for gaming, but otherwise it`s perfect.

It`s NOT the motherboard but the PSU that is the weak link. As soon as you start to get errors check the voltages and you will probably find 12V on the 5V rail! If you `scope the 5V rail you will probably see a huge level of hum. Eventually the USB and keyboard will pack up as these draw the most current from the 5V rail. If you want to keep your computer running replace the PSU now, it`s 20quid well spent!

Nice computer all round accept (motherboard is aload of rubbish) if your computer fails to come on, and it just flashes! than your motherboard has blown) in other words your need a new P4 motherboard. this is common problem with this machine and I have come across many of these models with the same error!!
