Burning on ATX Connector

by steven lynas . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

Hi all,

I have an AMD 2200+, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD (5400 RPM), 128MB MSI TI4200 8xAGP card, Windows XP Pro SP1a.

The problem I am having is that the machine hangs in Windows (Screen Freezes, no error msgs). I took the machine to bits, removed theATX power lead from the board, and found there to be scorch marks around the 3.3v pin on the board and the actual connector. What would cause this, my machine is totally un-useable, and seeing as I built it myself, have no warranty to speak of.

Will I have to peform a heart transplant on the board?

Please help me….
