EnglishAl that's encouraging to know, when I get home tonight hopefully I can get it sorted.
Richard, that sounds like good advice, I'll clean the machine up then try from scratch after checking the integrity inside the box. The motherboard was bought with the processor and heatsink and cooling fan pre installed, I bought them as a combo figuring I didn't know how best to match motherboard and processor and the company would know better. I'll give it a thorough check over tonight.
Thanks all, J.
