4Ghz Here I come !
Well, here's the thing, I noticed that my C drive was running out of space too fast, all the files occupied 3 GB or so. And the partition is of 30gb, and there was only 1GB free space, Decided to format and do a clean install of Vista again. Was trying to install the beta 2 disk since the OEM one gives me a cannot install one or more devices error and shuts down.
Comp was running fine, installation begun, and about halfway through, comp unexpectedly shut down. After that I cant seem to even get it to boot up. The MBD light lights up once I turn on the main supply, but when I try to switch it on, nothing. I checked all the wires connected to the comp, was nothing. I tried switching out the ram with my mom's and checked, still nothing.
Any help?
Rig Specs in my sig.
Got a 400W PowerSafe PSU.

Thats the most likely cause. It rebooted like 5-6 times halfway through the Vista install. LOL. Abt my friends no1 has anything near a 350W psu. And half of them wont even want to open up their computer "Dubba"
