Yeah. I just installed a ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb card into my computer. 2 Hours later it turned itself off and wont turn back on. At first, I thought the card overheated, but that wouldn't explain why the comp wont turn on.
The computer already smells burnt but I thought that was because my trusty old Ti 4200 badly overheated and collapsed.
I've traced the source of the problem to the PSU or Motherboard. I think it has been under intese pressure since I've been plowing on upgrade after upgrade. (Note: when I turn on the computer, the power light in the front case comes on but nothing else works.)
My questions are:
1) Is it the PSU or the Motherboard? (or both)
2) What are the best PSUs for the lowest amount of $$$?
3) Is this a good one?

It sucks that i was showing off the new graphics when the power went "Hurricane Katrina" on me. :dozey:
