I am working on a Gateway EXS500S PC w/ 2.0G P4 Processor, 400mhz FSB. I tested the factory installed, 165w, P4 ATX P/S, with a P/S tester. Result – bad cir, and replaced with 400w P4 P/S. Before testing P/S, PC already had major virus, adware and spyware problem. After replacing P/S the processor burned out within 2-3hrs. I replaced Processor, cleaned up system, ran great. The next day, turned on PC, Processor was bad.
Could the M/B have been damaged by bad P/S, or could this new P/S be too much for the PC? Is there a test for the M/B? NEED Urgent Answer. Thanks for help!
