ok i built a pc for a friend about 2 years ago, and recently moved away. Last week the power supply burned up and i told him it would be after christmas before i could get down their and fix it, so he decided to take it to a local shop because he wanted it back sooner. the shop owner said he put one in and it burnt up within 2 hours of testing so he replaced it again and the samething happened. now he want to change it again.
questions:
1. can a motherboard burn up a power supply? I thought it worked the other way around.
2. if not what could cause this problem?
i was thinking that it might be because the teck was puting in to small of a power supply.
thanks for any suggestions
