If just the fans start when you press the power button then the motherboard has popped.

Cool thanks Kup, in theory if I get exactly the same motherboard can I just swap the old one out? Theres a few conflicting articles on the net.

yes you can. I am assuming you are using a standard ATX motherboard of course.

Yep standard ATX - I think I will get the files off as suggested by hursti then try and replace it - that way if I destroy it or get to a point of no return then it won't be all doom and gloom.

Started Halo 4 over the weekend. It's so good to have some fresh content, I've run thorough Halo 3 on legendary with skulls twice already.

I'm pretty happy with the new 343 Industries style. Loving the Promethian Knights, etc as enemies. Such a cool style. Their tech seem kind of Cybertronian to me, especially the weapons.

The screen is a bit cramped now with all the visor details around the edges.

I just purchased Deus Ex and Dark Siders 2 on the wii u.. I have darksiders 2 on the ps3 but I barely started playing it and my ps3 broke, the eye won't read :-/ I hear the resolution is better on both games and the fixed a few issues from the other consoles versions, so, I'm looking forward to it.

Deus ex directors cut on the wii-u is on par, if not the best edition of the game that has been released, the same cannot be said for darksiders II.

The guys who ported the game managed to lower the frame rate of the game even when they removed details from the environment and some texturing here and there.

Yep, Kup's on the ball!

Definitely make sure you get all your files backed up at the very least, your HDD will hopefully be ok but it's good policy to have duplicates of everything that is important.

Hope to hear some good news at some point dude.
