Hi all, A few weeks ago my power supply died (smell of burning plastic and other components of the power supply). I would later realise that I *used* to have PIII system. It as a VIA chipset system with on-board audio.
I changed the power supply (to a higher wattage, power supply for Pentium IV). I flushed the CMOS, and there is no video, however CD-ROM is spinning and HD is spinning as well. I am assuming motherboard is fried. Questions are as follows: 1.) Can the processor be damaged in the process of motherboard being fried (PIII processor)? 2.) Can any cards (ie video card) or RAM be damaged in the process? 3.) Since I am starting from scratch, what are your recommendations for the new motherboard ( I have over 350MB of RAM for PIII, would you move down P4 alley or...)? I learned my lesson-I need to use the safety switch in the future the hard way... I suppose these things can happen to anybody... What are your experiences? With Christmas coming up I will finally have plenty of time to get this machine up and running. Your thoughts on the above issues would be greatly appreciated.
