my play box has turned into a paper weight

[Gregory Nowak]

There have been no power spikes that I know  of recently, and the
machine is plugged into a surge protector.

I can hear the cpu fan running, so I'm guessing that's ok.

The machine is an AMD k5 133 MHz with about 40 Mb of ram, made
somewhere around 1994.
Thanks.

Greg
