Yes. It had to do with "electricity". Dont know how to express the behaviour, but here it goes. I have all my computercables connected to a poweradapter that has a I/O switch. When I was about to start the computer I turned it on and then started the computer. Nothing happened. I tried a couple of times and then something "electricitywise" happened and I felt a burning smell from within the computer. Therefore I knew something really bad could have happened to everything in it. Thanks for the P4 etc recommendation. Mikael Adle
