ok let me see if i can explain this, here goes Specs 600W PSU AMD Athlon 2.8ghz Asus A8NSLI MB 2 GB RAM 160gb HDD 7900GT 256MB GC Turned on my pc no power, first taught was power supply, so i borrowed a 600 W power supply from a friend to test it out. Pc turned on 2 seconds later smoke started to come out from my graphics card it think. Quickly unplugged it. Bought myself a 680W power supply, pc comes on a lil smoke but it comes on windows loads up and stuff, then it says graphics card is not receiving full power. What should i do, does the graphics card need replacing or was my board damaged? I'm kinda scared to leave my pc on. What should i do? Bought
i think he might be talking about the northbridge or the southbridge chips or you got a bad psu....... what brand is it?
