Help!! I Think I Killed It!!!
WAAAAAAA!!
 I was doing my usual cleaning of my case. Upon finishing my rig started shutting off. Then all it would do is turn on for a second and shut-down. Now I found that if I unplug the P-4 power connector my machine will run, otherwise it shuts off immediatly. Do you guys think it is the board? Thanks. |

was the system cool when you were cleaning?
did you use compressed air out of a can? i blew up a power supply once when i sprayed compressed air inside and it cooled it to fast and something cracked,i actually heard it break.just sent it back and got a new one.later |

well if you unplug the connector it runs, well it could be the power supply if it has some overload protections?? i bought a kinwin 450 watt supply once and if you plugged anything in one of the leads it would just reboot. maybe you hurt the supply when you blew it out , try anther one if tou have one handy.

OK I have the board on the table. Just the HD CPU 1 stick of ram and another PSU. All fans power up no post, no beeps, no nothing. I removed the CPU and same thing. The D-bracket has 2 orange lights and 2 red. I hope I didnt kill the chip.

I don't think the unit will begin to boot without the CPU...
I would try to find or borrow a mainboard... You try to do something good for your 'puter and this happens, bummer...

Well I have an RMA number from AMD. I will be shipping it out on Monday. I never RMA'd anything before so I hope they dont say I killed it or something. Thanks for all the help everyone. "I'll be back" SIK.

Well AMD called and said the chip is fried.
 They will be sending me a new one. Only thing is they are out of stock and it may well be 2-4 weeks. Since that is such a long way out they will either send me a loaner (3500-3800) or an upgrade. Man, when do the FX-55's arrive?  |
