Like unplugging and replugging everything that's not soldered into place. Connectors are the number one hardware fault in equipment. Failing power supplies are probably next down the list, followed by hard drives. Cleaning out fluff and dust from heatsinks, and making sure that fans spin, are other easy things to check. Oh, and foreign objects in the computer - one loose screw somewhere in the chassis can be a recipe for disaster. And you can test particular cards by removing non-essential ones. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
