    Post Fried PS

    OK,
    PIII 700256MB
    Asus mobo (don't know which - sue me )
    ATX case
    300W Power Supply

    This is my wife's set, and it was built for her by her brother, so I'm not terribly familiar with is - I am having to much fun tweaking mine. Anyway, this set has blown two power supplies in two months. The symptoms: computer runs just fine trhough 4-5 starts (she does not use it much), and then it won't start. No power to the mobo, nothing. The only anomoly that I did notice this time was teh NUM LOCK led was illuminated, despite no fan or boot attempt.

    What are you thoughts? I do not want to put a new PS in this this only to have it fry.

    Isn't one post per problem sufficient?

    Well, since different people go to different forums, I thought I'd spread it around a little, especially since it applies to both topics. Not everyone reads the general Tech Support forum. If it annoys you, don't click on it.
