  • Just an update in case anyone else has similar issues. Installed a different hard drive and booted from the backup disks. This takes about 10-15 minutes to install. Tried last night and I got the click and No signal message before it had finished so clearly not a software issue. Repeated this morning and managed to finish…

The tower was still running - lit up, fans going but driver light had stopped. Last night after much stop-starting I managed to restore factory settings but it still cut out. I tried sitting a desk…
