Ok, then it's very likely a hardware problem.

- - reseat the CPU module. I got bitten by that with my GigE - the thing got loose and the weirdest things started to happen until the machine wouldn't even power up.

Damn, that would be the most plausible explanation after moving the box around. My DP500 module's got a huge heatsink and is held in place by 3 tiny screws - if yours is anything like that it will shake loose during long transports.

Any other ideas? :(

Power supply?

have fun
Michael
