Hi-
So I bought a new gigabye mobo about 2 months ago, and before I knew it (same day) the board was fried. Then, yesterday, I purchased another board to avoid charges on the gigabyte one, and it fried. They had in common that they had the same CPU (that worked for a few hours), the same video card (that worked for a few hours), and the same NIC (which WORKED for a few hours)
I think the NIC card did it, because it was involved in an electrical storm in a box that I fixed prior to building this one (I feel like an idiot)... is this possible? is there a way to fix it/get the charge out of the motherboard?? I threw away the NIC for my own safety.
Thanks
Jens
