Old AMD system problem

[jfenwick]

So have an old system of my aunts that stopped working, they dropped it off for me to play with to save data. Turns out the PSU is dead, swapped in a new one and its up and running...except a couple of minor oddities:

1) Random shut downs....twice in the past 24 hours its just crashed (black screen, like re-hitting power switch).

2) Cannot connect to the local network or web, it detects absolutely nothing. I know the cable is good, unplugged it from a working system to this one. Tried directly to the modem without the router, no change. Updated drivers, no change.

Possible that the mobo sustained some damage when the cheapo PSU went?

Other than that the system seems to be working fine:

-AMD 2000+, 40GB, ECS L7VMM3

The mobo could have sustained some damage. I would update things like the chipset drivers and the other drivers that you can. See if that helps. As well as monitor the temps to see if there is a underlying problem somewhere.

Yeah, i think the mobo has some damage, I found an old LAN PCI card in my junk box of old parts, popped it in and the LAN as well as internet are up and running no problems.
