I posted this in mb forum by mistake..although I may have fried something as you read below🙁I have tried suggestions from post below)

thru my stupidity i blew the power supply by connecting a scsi hd while computer running...replace pwr supply and all ok for couple of days...changed a setting in win98 this am to disable fast shut down...

Can not boot computer using any method...Normal boot up..hd's spin and about the time it should boot, computer shuts itself off.

using emergency start up in floppy...runs a min or so and then just hangs...

monitor seems to be in suspend and cant access bios setup.

any help for old one that should be smarter

P2 350 on Asus p2bs...

tried clearing rtc...

thanks

Back to normal....video card bios corrupted...restored w/matrox utility
 
It's very possible that the mainboard was damaged as well as the PS. Maybe a separate SCSI controller card would have taken the hit and not "passed it on" to the mobo. Either way, you're in financial trouble here. SBT.
 
First, I'd try resetting the BIOS to defaults by using the 'Clear Cmos' jumper on the motherboard. Unplug the power supply and [normally it is marked although hard to find in some cases] if the jumper is on pins 1 and 2,jump 3 and 4 for about 5 seconds. Replace the jumper to it's origional position. Plug the power supply back in. Cross your fingers and hit the power button.
 
Try the following:
1. Unplug your computer from the wall.
2. Pull everything but the vid card off your mobo.
3. Reset the bios by pulling the jumper listed in your manual or pull the battery out for 1 minute.
4. Reinstall battery
5. Plug in wall plug
6. Try to boot the computer to bios.
7a. If this works, next add hard drive and try to boot to windows. Do not add CD or anything else.
7b. If this doesn't work, you've probably fried the mobo.
8. Keep adding hdware (with the computer off) until you get your hang/shutdown.

Hopefully this will let you determine the bad apple in the system.
