Hey guys, I sold my system to my friend a while ago now which contained a 680i,q6600,4870 and seagate 320gb. Was all working fine until what i believe was the power supply blew after a wrong cable was connected by my friend. he connected the eps(atx 8 pin) to the 4870 accidentally, a capacitor started to smoke but im pretty sure the card is fine (tried my video card and still has same problem). The wierd thing is i think the power supply was faulty before this because the computer keept turning on, then off about 5 seconds later. Since this was happening before he connected the wrong cable, i guess the power supply could have always bee faulty. Ive tried using my earth watts in there and it booted fine. We have had the silverstone St75f (faulty) replaced but it seems they jus sent me back the same psu, becuase its got scratches on it like its the one we had before. ill try put my posu back in tomorrow and see how that goes. we have replaced the mobo now with a msi p45 neo. specs as follows
MSi p45 neo-f
2gb gskill ddr800 Hz/2gb gskill PQ (have tried posting with one stick)
HIS 4870
q6600
seagate 320gb
silverstone st75F psu
I'm pretty sure its the psu and they have just dodged us by giving us back the same one, but any you guys think it could be anything else?
