Hi,
I just got an Asus A7V8X motherboard with 256 MB PC2700 Corsair memory, and an AMD Athlon 2400+ CPU. I'm using a PC Power and Cooling 300W power supply. I've been having problems getting the setup to work, and I think it's because of the CPU. I think the CPU might have burned out when I tried to turn on the system, because every time I try and get it to work, all I get is a burning smell from the CPU. I've tried swapping out just about every single part, and got a new CPU, but I think I might have burned out that one too. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Replacing CPU's is getting rather expensive here.
