What id like to do is take a lighter (or torch!) and just kinda melt everything around a (not all) major parts. Im not sure if ram overheats, because it would be fun there. But take the video card socket, and just heat it up like no other. And that would do it
Although.. Gently misting it while its running might prove to be fun.
Cheers for all ur ideas and comments - their very much appreciated. Just popped the mobo into an ex server of mine and darn it wont work - what a bugger! O well, I suppose I will have to make a claim
if a mobo is friend it wont even get you to the log on screen for windows so it probably was something else.. bec uase a friend motherboard won even power up
