Ok heres the story. I have an AMD Athlon 550 processor, 128 meg ram, ATX MB,
and it seems like my power supply burnt out. For the past few days, I've
smelt a burnt electricity smell from my computer. I have a 250 watt power
supply in there, and according to the company, that's enough. From what I've
heard, a 300 watt P/S is needed for the Athlons. Anyway, this morning, when
I turned on my computer, smoke came out of the P/S fan and it has a really
bad burning smell. Nothing came on. No indicator lights, no fans, nothing!!!
I went to the store and purchased a 300 Watt P/S and replaced it. I'm still
haveing the same problem. Absolutely nothing is coming on. I've seen a lot
of mobo, processor and ram problems and I've never seen anything like this.
Could the mobo and/or processor have burned out with the P/S? Do you think
one of the power protection guys like this will help?
