This Shuttle is one of the WCG edition SB83G5 purchased in November.

Specs:

P4 3.4ghz
2GB Kingston ram
GeForce 6600
80gb Sata drive
16x DVDRW
Audigy 2ZS

We were all playing last night (EQ2) when one machine just shut off. The normal boot sequence seems to be a short blast of air from a fan, quiet, then another blast, little longer than first but not long, then silence as booting completes and continued silence while using. Tonight, all boot attempts resulted in the initial fan blast that never ceased.

We immediatly removed the case. Nothing seemed hot (vid card, cpu heat sink, cooling system, ram).

2 of us bought our machines configured w/ 2gb of ram. One friend bought the 512 version and later changed to 2 gb of ram, as configured off of the Kingston web site. This machine is the one that won't reboot. We tried reseating the ram and even tried the original 512 in each slot, to no avail. The machine just blasts the fan. I can also hear the hard drive click and then whir as it spins up. The machine never gets to a post beep.

Any ideas on what I should try next?

Much thanks in advance.
