All over.
:mad:
Got my new OCZ 520W modstream this morning. Popped it in, installed it by the book as you would. Pushed the power button, heard a bang and smelt burning metal. **** I thought. Brand new PSU dead. OK, mark of a good PSU is that if it fails it keeps everything alive. With that in mind, I proceeded to install the old PSU with the hope of everything working again. Not so. :/ Nothing turned on. Mobo standby light was off (should be on), and I'm guessing my CPU is gone as well :(

Athlon 64 3500 venice
2Gb Corsair RAM
X800 GTO
3 HDD 60 GB IDE, 200 GB SATA, 300 GB SATA
Asus A8V deluxe mobo.

I guess I've now got the hassle of seeing what I can salvage and sending the busted stuff back.
 
:( No, I haven't bought all the parts from OCUK. Ones which were: SATA Hard disks, DVD-RW, Graphics card, RAM, CPU cooler.

I don't think my mobos got a warranty since it was OEM :/

How do I test the CPU, since I only have one (dead) 939 mobo?

Besides I thought the PSU wouldn't cause anything else to fail...

So ***** off.

EDIT: Just noticed on the back of the OCZ it says 220V AC only. :S We're 230V. Too much power into the PSU perhaps?
