Hi everyone!
I recently bought an ASUS P4S8X, which I accidently mounted to the case without the washers provided. The result was a shorted out my IDE devices (1 HD and 2 CD Drives). The MB itself and everything else attached to it was undamaged. So, I'm curious whether the IDE device damage was a result of my MB installation. I at no point even got them to power up. Not once.
So.....Any opinions? Is it some bizarre MB protection feature?
thanks in advance!
