Low voltage PSU and mobos

Thanks for the prior help with the PSU. My concern now is that I've damaged another motherboard with this PSU which seems to be providing low power (Aspire 520 Watt).

I had a Soltek SL-K8AN2-GR before where the memory was spotty, Graphics stopped working, RAID went out. I ended up replacing the motherboard with a DFI LanParty UT nf3 250gb. Everything was working again... until now.

I am now having problems with this DFI board. A new PSU arrives tommorw, but in the mean time the integrated network is no longer functioning, and now Windows is not loading.

My concern is that I've physically harmed this motherboard. Do you know if that is possible?
 
Possible, but unlikely. Unstable voltage/ripple will cause a lot of crashed, but won't usually damage ICs because of the VRMs on the board.
 
Fak, so maybe I have ANOTHER bad mobo? Because the thing doesn't even register now...

Well the Fortron is in. It was noticeably heavier than the Aspire 520 Watt.

Does anyone know if the split 12v rail comes in the form of the 4 pin mobo connection and the 6 pin PCI connection? Because I don't have a PCI board.

Are split rails wasted on me?
