Well I have tried every single option there is. ACPI, Standard PC Mode, ACPI PC mode.

Nothing has worked. So I tried moving the card to a different pci slot and lo and behold my PC won't even boot up now.

I turn it on, the HD light flashes and it doesn't even boot upto into the bios .........

It seems I have had nothing but little problem after little problem since I went from Scope 3.01C to 4.0

No not a thing. I turn on my pc the hard drive light flashes once and the screen stays blank. It isn't even booting upto the post. no beeps or error messages or anything .........

Why is it that computers are soo much hassle, I swear they give you more grief than women

check if the AGP card is seated properly - move it once out and firmly back into the slot again.
I've had a similiar effect once with exactly that problem. The AGP connector has 2 rows of contacts above each other and if it's just slightly displaced (one cannot see it) it halts the complete machine. And of course doesn't show a picture...
If that doesn't help remove all other cards except the video, disconnect from main power by unplugging the cable (!) - wait some minutes and if all goes well it should boot again.

good luck, Tom

Well I have tried removing all the cards (Graphics, Pulsar II & Scope SRB) and just clipping the graphics card in again.

Nothing

I tried with a different graphics card and it was the same.

Nothing

So that rules out a grphics problem doesn't it ???

If it was a hard drive problem wouldn't the system still boot upto post ??

It's fixed.

There were two jumper switches on something called the SMBus 2.0. It was set to disable so I set it to enable and still nothing happened. I took them off completely and it booted up fine without a problem.

Thank god I was starting to panic.

One thing though now is that even though all my network settings are switched off in the bios 1394 (is that the firewire port ?) it shows up as being there in the device manager ......
