Thanks for all the replies guy - some helpful - some not :)

Initially thought it was the AGP card as it wasnt sitting properly, due to
moving pc along floor with monitor still plugged it... - resited but not
joy
:(

Took all cards out, plug monitor into onboard VGA port - still nothing.

As a last resort and the fact i cant find the motherboard instructions, i
started moving jumpers in hope of finding the CMOS reset - bingo, did a
reset, powered up and it started, put cards in and failed again.

Bit of trial and error, and believe its a PCI Firewire card ?? - used about
twice in last couple of years, so no loss there.

So sorted, and now able to send email properly.

Oh and thank god for my Epod - at least i had internet access.




Dean.
