A couple weeks ago I was working on installing a Gigabyte S3 mobo after killing my P5W DH (yea, it fell off my work bench..) and was having some serious struggles. Couldn't get the board to post with 4 sticks of PQI 512mb... Checked everything, couldn't figure it out for hours so I went back to my trusty asus P5ND2+805 and couldn't get that to post either (one of those days where you just can't get anything right...) So I switched the 12V plug into the other side (board has the 8 pin EPS) and forgot to unplug (and turnoff) the PSU...
And of course I hear the famous 'POP!' The PSU hasn't worked since. I've been stuck with a 430W Cooler Master 19amp 12v trying to power an S3, E6400@3.2ghz, 4x512mb PQI Turbo, vmodded 7600GT, 1 SATAII hd, 1 Maxtor IDE, DVD-RW, Corsair Nautilus 500 WC Kit. Suprisingly, it's worked, but at any FSB above 400, it won't completely post. Problem is obviously the PSU, I've tried everything, running at the bare minimum ect., and not much help. Any voltage increases and it won't post.
Anyways, sorry if you just read that all and probably wasted your time, but my question is; Where is the fuse in this PSU? I really think I just blew the fuse in the PSU and just need to replace it (radio shack here I come.)
Anyone else think that it probably was a fuse that went instead of the whole PSU?
