Help, Im now at the end of my tether and sanity,
End of last week I was surfing the net when all of a sudden the comp turns off. Never got a POST after that. Seemed like a mobo to me, so RMA sent. Need a working PC so had to order a new mobo and got a 64 AMD and a MSI K8N.
Setup all the system as it arrived today, and as soon as I turned it on there was a cloud of smoke, but it was still running. Seemed like a fan wire blown, so took the mobo out of the case and tried again, power but no POST.The bottom of the mobo has what looks like a blown transistor.Took all the parts out and reseated and only after I took the RAM out and reseated did the comp only power for 2secs then turn off.
Im lost, am I just unlucky to have had a bad mobo again, or is something else at play here? RAM, PSU, dodgy mains?
Help Im getting seriously tired of it all now,
