I need some help ASAP.
I run an Athlon 2600+ OC'ed to 2ghz and a Radeon 9800 se softmodded to pro.
I've been running this setup fine for ages, ran half life 2 on high for many hours at a time.
Last night I installed Neverwinter Nights and started playing through on high settings, then I noticed artefacts appearing.
I knew this was a sign of Graphics card overheating, but before I could turn off the pc, it cut out on it's own.
Now it won't turn on when I swich it on.
I don't see why the graphics card overheated so quick, I've played half life 2 flat out for ages and had no problem.
So I replaced the graphics card with my old GeForce FX, and still no response when I switch it on.
I thought the power supply was faulty, but everything that uses USB still gets power. (I have some setting in the Bios enabled that keeps power to usb devices, even when computer is off)
When I switch it on it is dead, no response at all from it (No hum, Bios won't even load, it seems dead).
And basically, on the hard-drive I have some important documents that I need *TODAY*... I tried placing the harddrive as a slave in an old Win98se box, then realized that it won't recognize large hard-drives or NTFS partitions.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Not really that clued up on PSU's, but you could try an Enermax PSU, I heard they're pretty good.
About the floppy thing - I doubt it.
Floppy drives are pretty much extinct nowadays.

It's what I'll be using the floppy drive for.
Upgrading Bios, flashing graphics cards and tinkering around with boot disks.

Gotta go for the Tagan TG-U01. Quiet, loads of cables, and probably the best output (ie. very reliable and long lasting) of any on the market.
And it'll only set you back around £50 these days...
