That reminds me of another question I forgot to ask.
If the Built In Video card is no good if I installed one in a PCI slot would it work.

I found out I installed the new powersource in another Computer. So I will pull it out of that tomarrow and put it in the questionable Computer and see if that does the Trick.

The CPU is still securely clamped down. I had always unscrewed the Fan off of the Heat Sink when I did the cleaning.
I would like to not blame myself and believe it was just a coincidence that it died.

I also took the sheet metal cover off of the Power Source and blew it out with air from that squeeze bulb thing.
