well as it stands now the wall (around 7.5 square metres) is bare along the top, bottom and left (so a big C basically). From all the advice i'll be doing the following... Sanding down the current plaster. Focusing on the edges so they taper off slightly towards the exposed brickwork (assume...

Wish i could practice, unfortunately being unemployed means any spare board/plaster would result in me not eating for the week (not all us benefit claimers are the cheating kind :) ), this job will need tools and materials which will mean i'll be relying on christmas donations to pay for...

When you said that the voltage drops to zero when powering on what did you mean exactly? Have you tested the voltages of each rail while the PC is powered up, or do they all register zero?

Thanks for the info, did you bring the bonding flush with the old wall and skim it all? or just below and skimmed level? (sorry if thats a simple question, plastering has been something i've avoided so a little clueless :) )

primary suspects are Memory or Motherboard. If you have more than one memory stick, try rotating them to eliminate them as a cause. Definately not your HD, your computer would still POST without it functioning correctly.

I noticed a crack along the base of the far wall, a quick tap gave a very hollow sound so i removed some of the plaster.

This is a problem thats be pestering my mind for a while, i was hoping a more experienced person could lend a guiding hand. I have a room like this.... The flooring is laid (against my advice without removing the skirting first to give no need for trim). The door opens practically...

thanks very much for your help.

Vista is attrocious...even Microsoft gave up on it so i'd suggest you roll back to XP, or think about getting windows 7, you can still get a cheap deal of around £60-£70. As he doesn't want to keep anything from the PC, it will be quicker and cleaner to just reformat/install. Been a while...

Bad choice of words perhaps, i'd just woken up, brain no work good without brew! Just a better idea to start with the narrowest problem, then work towards the quagmire that is "a virus" (which in ten years and hundreds of fixes i've done account for only a handful...connection problems...
