Alright so my motherboard and processor died on my at the beginning of the week. So I figure it makes for a good excuse to upgrade. I go out and buy a new abit board and an XP 2200+ put it all together..and it won't boot.
I finally figure out that my powersupply is too weak for my new gear. I decide to go buy a new PSU, lookin around it seemed that it would make more sense just to go ahead and buy a new case that came with a power supply. So I put everything together, boot it up...get into windows and everything. I install all the drivers and whatnot. I play demos for Halo and Need for Speed Underground. No problem.
I leave for a bit and come back. Its locked up. I reset it...start playin around again, it locks up again. This time for good. Since then I can't even get a POST. So I got no Post, no video put power seems to be getting to everything. I follow some troubleshooting steps from the motherboard website and take the board out of the case to try and see if the case was grounding the board. Nope..same thing. I take out the video and RAM...same thing. I take off the CPU and heatsink. Same thing. So that leaves the PSU or the motherboard. Right? Should I try to return/exchange one or the other or both??
