Motherboard not getting enough power?

[DongTran]

Hello everyone,

Would a 250W Codegen brand power supply be able to handle a Tbird 1.4? Here is the system I'm trying to upgrade right now:

MSI K7 Master
Duron 750
Alpha PAL6035HSF w/ Sunon fan
Asus V7100 Magic
512mb Crucial DDR ram
Misc crap

Ok honestly, I stuck the 1.4 in without thinking of the power supply, and it came up as 1035mhz. It didn't even finish counting the RAM, and the whole computer turned off. Then I started hearing the infamous sizzling sound of the Tbird and I'm thinking it's dead (or at least from previous experiences that's what happened after the sizzling sound). Anyway so I put back the Duron, and now it won't even boot up. When I hit the power switch, only a light on the motherboard comes in. Is there anyway that I messed up the motherboard because of the pansy power supply? Thanks.

Dongo

The Codegen 250 watt is not rated for a 1.4 by AMD. You can check that and others on this page.

What "sizzling sound" are you referring to?

You should try to clear the CMOS before rebooting again. Also, unplug all the "Misc crap" and see if it boots that way first.
