| 328208 | 2005-02-26 03:52:00 | Too make a long story shorter, When I plugged the 550 watt power supply in and turned on the computer, I heard a spark and smelled something burning. I quickley turned it off, but it was too late. so the shorting of the random points on the motherboard cause the worng voltages to go in to all the wrong parts of the board and it turns in to a big short. then then power suppily is shorted out and is trying to deliver way too much current it then trys to catch fire. basicly it all started with the wrong install of the board. you will find that the CPU is probly dead and and ram might be lost too., any cards you have in the system might have been killed too. hard drives and CD-rom drive should be OK. |

| 328211 | 2005-02-26 21:02:00 | What's that supposed to mean!? :o :( | george12 (7) | ||
| 328212 | 2005-02-26 23:09:00 | Not directed at you George at all. Overseas forums are full of people who destroy their equipment and have the cheek to RMA it. | PaulD (232) | ||
