My two year old 1.2 GHz AMD box bit the dust last weekend. Left it on for the night and by the morning it had expired. Nothing was happening when pressing the power button and it wasn't anything obvious like a loose power cord.
Was looking for an excuse to get a new one anyway, that old thing was nothing but trouble (new box: MSI KT4V-L, ATA 133/ AMD XP2200/ 512 DDR-PC2700/ WD 1200JB 120 G HD/ 52x burner & G4 MX440 video card - all for $956 Canadian including all those taxes). Oops, I digress.
My question is, if it were the motherboard would the machine still power up? I suspect it's the power supply, it was only 250 watts and had installed an extra hard drive and a DVD burner in recent months. Any thoughts?
