    Poxie Out of Action

    After a long wait and scraping money together I finally got the chance to upgrade my PC, 2 years to be exact. I got myself nice shiny new bits and was very happy with them. I got my new motherboard on Monday, lovely bit of kit with the newest most powerful chipset you can buy currently for AMD. Ordered a new case as well, that arrived today. After putting all my things into my nice new case my PC wouldn't respond to powering up. After tinkering a little bit there was SOME life, albeit immediate shut down is far from convenient. So after more tinkering I got it to boot up for longer than half a second! But then my glee turned to "whuttage" as my motherboard began to explode and seemingly catch fire. Pulled the plug immediately.

    So now I'm stuck with an expensive paper weight with a hole in it. Luckily my graphics card wasn't in, so that's at least saved. My new CPU was though, and with no way to test it I'm a bit worried to say the least.

    I'm sitting here writing this on a laptop, that far from great but it shall do, awaiting a reply from the company I bought my board from, to see what they can do about it. Just my lucky they'll do nothing.

    :bang:

    Anyone want to send me some new stuff? :suicide:

    BAWW!!!

    I hope that it will cover explosions. I'm not overly willing on shelling out another 200 odd quid. :sigh:
    A standard 650W Modular PSU. Wasn't cheap either.

    This makes me want to rethink about building someone elses PC for them.

    D: Sad times... as long as you say that you were using an anti-static wrist band when you put it in and that you've done this kind of thing before then they should definatly replace it for you -- I've had this happen to me with an Intel motherboard and after it was taken out I poked the LGA for lolz :D

    Anyway, good luck D:

    Dude, did you connect the ATX plug the wrong way? (Which is almost impossible, because its designed to be "one way only fitting")
    Or memory upside down? Or DDR2 in DDR3?

    Re: Poxie Out of Action

    No. Memory upside down isn't possible, the ATX plug, I suppose can go in 2 ways, but no. I'm not tupids kay?
