[aclug-L] Re: Testing ATX Power Supply

[David Carmichael <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Note to self......

NEXT time computer does not want to boot correctly take to shop and have
them look at it... this way everything will work correctly and make self
look like fool!

Really what was done was the BIOS was reset... something that I could of
sworn that I had tried to do at least _SIX_ times with no effect.
