[QUOTE="Rl'Halsinor, post: 3359382, member: 19772"] Well I do know that I can't update the BIOS because the board is at least 5 years old. I am torn between trying a new board or jumping to another new build altogether. The shame of it is is that the sound card (Old Creative X-Gamer) and video card are doing quite well and I am one of those that hate to discard old but still serviciable hardware. This PC was perfect for my kids doing their homework, surfing the net, email, and playing less demanding PC games. I don't have any diagnostic tools to check my power supply. I understand a good deal about the BIOS and I am looking in my user's manual to find it. If it means I need a new motherboard and and a power supply I think I can live with that, but if the power supply destroys more I'll be less :mad: [/QUOTE]
