I killed my Epox 8KHA+.
It had an Athlon XP 1600+, 512 MB PC2100 DDR, one AGP GeForce3 primary video card, two PCI ATI secondary video cards, one TV Tuner card, one sound card (because the on-board sound died), and one NIC.
I replaced the Athlon XP 1600+ with a 2400+ and nothing happened. I put the 1600+ back on and after several attempts, it booted. When I was removing the HSF to try the 2400+ again, the screwdriver slipped and gouged the motherboard pretty bad. I've slipped before but this time, it really dug in. Now it won't even POST.
I think somewhere in that process, I may have fried the 2400+. I don't know yet. I'll address that later.
For now, I need to buy a new 133/266 motherboard.
I don't want on-board video since I already have 3 video cards and a tv tuner. I'm not big on sound so on-board sound will be good enough. Same goes for on-board LAN too. With on-board sound and LAN, I will need one AGP slot, and three PCI slots.
Any suggestions on the 133/266 motherboards they have on newegg.com?
