Whats up everyone.
I have a Athlon XP1400 with a Gigabyte Motherboard and no-name 256meg of ram running windows xp. Today when I was just watching a movie on it, it shut off. When I went to investigate I immediately noticed the alarming burnt smell seemingly coming from the power supply. The computer booted up again but after a very short period of usage started slowing down SIGNIFICANTLY, it had trouble opening any and all windows and when they were closed they scrolled down the screen like i had a 200 mhz in there or something. Upon further inspection it really did seem to be emanating from the Power Supply however when I replaced it later this evening it worked fine initially but then repeated its earlier slowdown...the computer is unusable in its current state and any suggestions as to the source of the problem would be great.
Thanks alot!
