OK- I run my main home system on a UPS, that is on a AGFI circuit breaker on my home feed from Pacific Power. So yesterday about 4:30 we had a power bump here at the house. It caused my PC to just die... not like hard restart die, but die.
I think it killed the PS but I haven't checked. I've talked to PP&L and Belkin ( who made the UPS ) and they are both sending me claim forms. Who know's maybe I'll end up with some new hardware out of the deal.
As for now, it looks like the lappy will be it for me.

OK i installed the a brand new 500w PS in the system. It ran for about 4 hours and then died again same as the first, only this time there was no power surge. I had it plugged directly into the wall ( no UPS ).
Could it be that it fried my CPU and it just took a few hours to finally kill it?
I thought that maybe it was just my CPU heat protection kicking in, but that dosn't seem to be the case.
So anyway I installed a new Abit NF7-S2G I've had laying around to see if it was the MB - I get the little power LED to come on showing the MB is getting power from the PS but when you hit the power button - Nothing.
I'm going to load up an old AMD 2200+ today and see if it's the CPU. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Like I said before, try jumping the PSU, if the fans come on inside the PSU, then its fine, might also plug in a few system fans to the PSU also to see if those turn on.

Hey, get on xfire and we can chat about this instead of posting on the board.
