    COLOR="black"]Near as I can figure, it happened sometime last week. I went for those passive memory heat sinks since my P4 3.0E was running so cool like 34-37 idle 42-45 under load. Anyway we got lost there somewhere. I can't tell you exactly what happened, but next thing I knew I was frantically searching for my Antec case diagram which I lost, but didn't matter anyway. The system is just doa. it won't boot into anything. I did a power test, and the power supply appears OK. Right now I'm looking at just how many ways you can hook up the case from LED to IDE LED, and so on. This can't be that difficult, but I'm at it still 1 week to the day. Any ideas about wiring would be helpful right about now. Thanks in advance.

    The motherboard should be clearly marked and the case SHOULD have each wire marked, do you mean the wiring on your case have no markings to tell you where to plug it in? If so, you might want to Google the case name and model.

    Thanks tried that - actually went out, and bought a new case on sale of course. But no luck. I can't figure out what happened. Did I fry my memory, or the whole mobo? Gonna be pulling my hair out with this one- I'm bald anyway.
