I need too know i this would fry my mother board.
If the power supply is not plugged in and set too 0(off) but the ATX power cable is plugged in to the motherboard during installation would that cause problems.

the only ways you can fry your mobo:
1. overheating of cpu or mobo
2. short circuit
3. physical damage from a random act of stupidity
4. There isn't another way...

You can't have possibly listed ALL the possible ways to fry your motherboard.Quote:

What about dripping a little Artic Silver II over some circuits? That will surely fry it on power-up.
What about if a surge came in through your 110-volt power line and blew out your entire system?
What about if a spike came in through your phone line (the most common method by far) and blew your system out that way?
There's a million different things that could go wrong.

1.If I take a hammer and intentionaly and premeditativly smash my mobo to bits... Nothing random about it.
2. Act of God. Everything god does has a reason and I know you aren't saying god is stupid...
3. Gnomes. I hate it when the gnomes mess with my system. Everything wierd that happens to your system can be attributed to gnomes.

But seriously, Unplugging your power supply will keep you cards from getting fried when plug them in or pull them out. It is still possible you could zap something with a static charge from you tho...

I STARTED THE THREAD
hey im famous
i found out i didnt fry my mobo but i grounded it(tightedned the mobo too the case too tight and stopped it from starting ( working))
Hey guys i got a new problem.
i want too know if my AGP connector is broken. I have a NviDIA GeForce3 that plugs into my K7S5A motherboard, if the AGP is ****ed and will not start the moniter will it still make the fan spin on the geforce3. Nothing shows up on my screen it just stays blank when i turn it on but the geforce3 fan spins.
ANY HELP :0
1-Try another card, then 2-try a pci card if it dosent work.
If "1" works your GF3 is the one thats ****ed not the Agp slot.
if "1" dosent work, but "2" works its the agp.
if non worked its YOU https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif (J/K) check the MB.

Well i tryed that, im pretty sure its the AGP slot because my GeForce3 worked in my other computer. But if it is the AGP slot then why does the fan spin on it when its plugged in and the computers turned on?
Because the fan will work as long as the card is hooked up to a power supply. Doesn't matter if the card is running or not.
