unfunnyryan Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 if you have a system eating mobos then your power supply is a piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 He needs an AM2+ compatible board with SATA/DDR2 Memory (as most or all of them probably do). I just put an ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS in it about 2 months ago after it ate the first one. His power is spotty and he didn't have a UPS, so we figured that was the cause. I had him get a UPS after the new mobo install but it began acting strangely lately then stopped booting. I have been tinkering with it the past few days and I'm fairly certain the board is dead again. The only things we reused from the last setup was a DVD drive, HDD and PSU. Since it appears this is dead board #2 I'm calling PSU shenanigans also. I had him buy a super cheap PSU last time just to test with that we ended up not using. He still has that one, but I think I'll send him after an Antec or something decent now that I think that's the cause. It had occurred to me last time that the PSU can toast the board, but it was easy to blame his spotty home power. Fuuuuuu P.S. I'm gonna find Crazy Kenny and beat him down.
