I have recently put together a new computer. Unfortunately, I got a bad motherboard, so I am still waiting for some parts. My question is, how do you know or make sure a motherboard is grounded properly? I had the MSI board (MS-6380) K7T266 PRO-RAID and I was using 512mb of DDR pc21000 memory with the new 1.4ghz athlon (266fsb). It originally worked, and I was able to load windows and all, but when I tried to change the defalt settings from the 200mhz FSB, it froze up and the processor got fried. IT was also only running at 1050Mhz (processor). I have an ANTEC ATX case and I have 6 copper mounting brackets/spaces that I screwed the board on to. Should this all I need to do to ground the board? Any other suggestions? Thanks
