Good Point Fozzer!

In fact.... we should probably mention her that inside that case ,....... although it is not easy to find.... can be some voltages that could be lethal.

So be caredul there Scorpion. MOST stuff in the case is low voltages.... but the power supply "inner workings" is another story.

You really probably don't want to go poking around inside the PS box. Wink

A few capacitors to equalize it... just stay away from the section with the large PCB tracks, as that one is the 110/240 side

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Makes me wonder if the original CPU is still fine, I'll bet you haven't got it anymore right?

Yes, you can easily fry the mainboard with a CPU overheat. Been there, done that.

The thing you need to do is stop farting around and take it to a small volume technician for testing while you watch, making sure he doesn't swap parts on you.

"Oh yes, sorry sir, both CPU's were fried as well as your motherboard and RAM, that will be $2300......... cash or credit?"

I can't test components beyond doubt unless I have the appropriate hardware (ie. duplicate equipment) for testing them. Sometimes this even involves the very risky business of installing the suspect components into a willing friend's PC for analysis....... or further entertainment..... Tongue

Entertainment indeed! Despite the sinking feeling, I was quite delighted by the smoke! Grin

I went to Fry's, and to my surprise, they were quite cordial and helpful. Not typical of Fry's. Shocked

Anywho, I bought a CPU, nothing happened, took it back, and the guys said both were in perfect working order. After hearing utterances here about my PSU, I decided to go that route, besides the fact that it's cheaper. No avail. I still don't think it's RAM, and this only leaves the MoBo. I shall take the PSU back fo a refund, and buy a new MoBo. Hopefully, I shall be back in command of C172s and T-54s by the end of the week.
