So I think this thing is fried, but I just thought I would tell everyone what I was doing. So I was bored and I had this gigabyte board. I found ina computer that wasnt' working when I swapped it out I got that computer working. however I have another 754 proc so I popped it into this one to see what I could get while sitting here. I used one of my 300 watters to boot it up without a gfx to see if I could get things to spin even.

So Iplugged just a cd rom drive, a stick of ram and a procesor. I go to turn it on and nothign happens. so I try changing how the power switch is plugged in and meanwhile the power is on but not being turned on. the fan (120 mm) I just had plugged in to see if I was getting power as I had no other fans. it started trying to spin as I moved the thing around. What would that mean? I also smelt something bad which I immediatly shut off all power to it and pulled the plug.

are you sure you didn't connect something upside down? I would check. I did the same thing with my floppy drive. please check my message to you about smp client.

If you didn't maybe your power supply needs to be replaced.

wll this is somethign I got out of a trashed computer and when I hooked up the things the same way on a different motherboard it worked so I assumed it was dead, but I decided to give it a second shot today which is why this all happened at all.
