    Idea [I] Who dunnit..

    God damn, it's so fucking simple & I should've known to check it but didn't.
    For those who wern't at the last LAN, my comp crashed around 2330 and Allen, Nate & I spent the better part of 3 hours trying to fix it.
    I leave the LAN around 0300, and apparently my presence matters more than I thought, because 3 other people pack up with me as I get ready to leave. I head up to Bellingham to spend the night & better part of today with a friend and begin reassembling Odium(my comp), just to see if I can get him to post. So I connect the rear fan and go over everything one last time, just to make sure everything's properly connected. And out of the corner of my eye I notice that the transistors on my PSU are oozing. That makes two dead PSU's since Feburary. The first was a 300 or 350 Watt, and this last one was 450. The odd part is that my old PSU lasted almost a year, and the new, higher watt one only lasted 5 months(to the day).
    Even though my comp didn't make it to midnight, this was one of the best LANs yet, for two simple reasons. An avg 4:1 Kill ratio, and killing the entire opposing team with a weapon than doesn't have a sight(one of the high-end, rapid fire, sniper rifles. & I didn't zoom for any of the kills). Oh, and headshots with the Dualies & Desert Eagle.

    *Edit* Nope. Mobo's gone. RMA time... goodie. Tried every configuration I could think of. No post or even beeps.

    Indifferent [:|] Re: Who dunnit..

    So my RMA comes back and I put it all back together, and it works. HUZZAH!
    So I transfer all the crap from this comp onto my comp.
    Then I shut down, transfer my comp into my room and it wont FUCKING POST!!!!
    I've completly taken it apart and put it back together several times now.
    No warning beeps... no blinking of the lights...

    Any suggestions?

    If I have to RMA this one, someone's gonna get stabbed in the face. With a very blunt object. *Smashes bottle of BAWLS on the edge of the table* Huh. I knew I kept the empties for a reason...

    *** dude, sorry for your losses, i'd be so depressed if my comp died on me.

    Don't run from me... you'll only die tired.

    Re: Who dunnit..

    I was. After I RMA'd the second dead board, I cave'd and just got a ASUS P4P800. It runs a tiny bit slower. But it runs.
