That's what I was thinking - seemed like the PSU gave out a burst, then
gave up. But I tried two diiffferent PSUs.
However - just removed the processor, bare board, and it started. Put
the processor back, added all the bits, and it starts. I just don't know
any more, but at least it works!
Thanks for the advice anyway.
