    Help!!! My *second* K7T Pro motherboard just died agian in the same way as the first one. What is wrong??

    How do these look? 400W: http://www.thechipmerchant.com/41579-0.html 350W: http://www.thechipmerchant.com/41577-0.html Would 350 be enough?? The only upgrades I see myself getting over the next year or two are a new vid card (3dfx Rampage if it's good, otherwise I'd have to go with Nvidia)...

    Help!!! My *second* K7T Pro motherbaord just died agian in the same way as the first one. What is wrong??

    Shiva, The board is dead, after the incident it will not turn on again. It's exactly what happened the first time it did this. I tried all the isolation troubleshooting and nothing brought it back up. I suspected a ground out or short the first time, but I couldn't find anything like that...

    I love the Tornado case. It is deffinetly not a POS and it much nicer than any other case I've owned. They even round the sharp edges so you don't cut your hand getting into tight places. Hoewever, if it's PSU really is causing my dead mobo's then it's bye bye...

    Help!!! My *second* K7T Pro motherboard just died agian in the same way as the first one. What is wrong??

    I don't think the board is at fault, two separate baords wouldn fail on me in the exact same way. What do you guys suggest I get if I were to got out and buy a new Power Supply? Could a PSU really cause something to fry by under powering it? That notion seems a little weird since I would...
