I have a friend whos Gigabyte nforce3 skt939 board will not post. We are trying to figure out if its the MB, PS, or CPU causing the problems. The system is stripped down to these three things for testing.
Im guessing its the MB since it starts heating up before he even turns it on. Just by flipping the switch on the PS, the MB gets too hot to hold a finger on.
I just hope somone can tell me this is normal or bad so he dosen't buy a new board for nothing. The PS has been swaped with a new one already.
system:
939 3500+
gigabyte MB
enermax 350 (atx 1.0) and enermax 485 (atx 2.0)
