It certainly brings back fond memories for me, overclocking my Celeron
300 to 450... if may be time to get out the shovel. :-(

Very likely a bad capacitor problem. Saving it would cost more than |
buying a faster (used) replacement.

nothin. Although frequently changing out hard drives, hadn't changed
harddrives or anything for couple months before it died... Had a bad
RAM stick I changed out about a year ago. |

Hmm... that's rough. Probably a good thing all the caps these days are

Inspect capacitors. If bulging or leaking, that is likely the problem.
Unplug all but bh6, cpu, mem.
Reseat/Rotate/swap memory modules.
Swap video cards.
Etc, etc.
