Hey all!
Adding to my recent myriad of problems with my upgraded computer I think I may have fried my PSU.
As some of you may recall only one stick of my 2 GB's of memory was working. It was suggested to me that I should up the voltage from 1.8 -> 2.0 (The memory had a recommended range of 1.8-2.2). So I did this, and BAM it started after two tries. I then turned it off and rebooted it got to the BIOS screen and just froze... So I hit the power switch and booted it right back up only to find that the computer turns on for about a second or two before switching right the **** off .
Argh.
So I think the extra voltage was too much for my poor Antec Truepower 2.0 550W, but I want to make sure before I go out and by some beast of a power supply that it was indeed my power supply and not (sigh) my brand new motherboard or RAM.
Is there anyway I can identify the problem here?
Thanks in advance guys!
