The fuse in >the power supply is good and there don't seem to be any shorts that I can >detect. This is almost a me too post.... My roommates 2000 has the same problem. He has an 8UP! board with 4megs, and an xt bridgeboard. His made a buzzing noise for a while, but I could almost swear that it actually was his fan. Now when he turns it on, the power light comes on for about a second, and then shuts off. I took out the two boards, but to no avail. So, if anyone has any ideas, there are at least two people interested in them.
