2 dead PSU's
I assembled a new computer for a friend
Specs are:
XP Barton 3000+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo
Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
DDR Dual channel 3200 256mb ram (x2)
120gb WD harddrive
PSU #1 (400W)
For about 2 hours of running, we played UT2k3 for about 15 minutes then it shut down out of nowhere. Refuses to turn on, only power we see is a little LED on the motherboard, and when you turn it on fans flicker for a split second then nothing.
PSU #2 (my precious 350W from my new computer, now dead! )
Also for about 2 hours of running, it ran through chimp demo, a little warcraft 3, and died during Vice City. Same way it killed the 400W.
Why is this thing destroying PSU's??????
or sould it be something else???
