Hi Leslie, thanks for your reply. The computer is about 3 years old,<br>assembled by myself from bits and pieces so no warranty (didn't keep<br>receipts). I don't have a spare video card, foolishly threw away when I
<br>moved house 2 months ago! I live in St Peters, about 10 mins from the<br>Sydney CBD.<br>Specs:<br>Intel PEntium 4 2.4GHz<br>512Mb DDR RAM (one stick)<br>Gigabyte GA-8S648FX mobo<br>Unknown brand low-end Nvidia card near-new
<br>file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html,,Samsung DVD burner<br>Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 hard drive<br> .. and i've just noticed a bad burning smell coming from the CPU...<br>:(<br><div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<br><br>Hi Mark Depends where in Sydney you are and how comfortable you are<br>opening your computer up. Firstly is it under warranty? If its not<br>heres what i would check out. Quick and easy check is the Video card. If
<br>you have a spare or can borrow one try swapping it. Most of all it<br>sounds like a dead Motherboard (how old is the machine?) They can die<br>due to power issues (like storms). I know a great place in the Blue<br>Mountains and if your in western Sydney i could even pop over and have a
<br>look myself if you need the help. Give some more details on the specs of<br>the machine and where in Sydney you are and we can work it out from<br>there. Good Luck Leslie Gossner<br><br>--<br>ubuntu-au mailing list<br>
