Here is my current system:
ASUS P4S533 AUDIO/LAN SOCKET 478 MB
Intel Pentium 4 2.1Ghz
(3) Sticks 512MB Crucial DDR2700 (333Mhz RAM)
Saphire ATI Radeon X800 - AGP 256MB
I pulled the plug on my system while it was running cus' I was in a rush on a Friday night and when I went to boot it up on Sunday morning, it failed to even post. I took it to work and through various troubleshooting determined that the power supply was bad. I tried a known working power supply with correct wattage and the PC still failed to post. This makes me think that the MB is busted - possibly the CPU.
I could try to find a P4S533 on the re-sale market and pop that in to fix the problem. It may be possible that the CPU is fried as well, so I may have to end up buying a replacement CPU as well.
Being that said, should I just say screw it and buy a new MB / CPU combo? I'd like to stick with the AGP Radeon X800 - how much is that going to limit my options?
This is my main computer, so I would like to move on this asap (aka, no waiting for pre-commercial products).
Thanks.
