    Is my power supply dead?

    I did so and I think it's the power supply. Everything powers up for 10 secs and dies. The fans, everything. However I fear it may also be a real failed cpu....... :( even if it was caused by th power supply. So I guess it off to warrenty and newegg for a new PSU first.

    "System Failed Cpu Test" on A8v Deluxe after bios upgrade

    So does that sound like a plan? Get the 90nm that should work flashing back, seeing if the 53 works if not then it's defective if it does then the bios didn't like it. Then return the pocessor. :)
