I think I mighta blown it!!!!

[Lnm]

Hi,

I have an asus p4t e mobo, with a 2.2 northwood, matrox 550, 1gb rdram

Ok, so this computers been in my 'music studio' for three years and worked flawlessly. I built it myself from scratch and has been superb. I recently upgraded to a new comp for the studio and decided to make the old one my new net machine.

Install net stuff, all good. (went from a P3 750, so speed increase was great!)
Took the old sound card (an Echo Darla) out of my old net machine. Major problems, sound worked for a few seconds then went all garbled, thought I'd change pci slot. Power down machine, change slot, power up........

The fans came on, not alot else, no beeps, no bios, no monitor, no nothing....

Since then I have reseated everything, even started again, took mobo out to check i hadn't cracked it, cleared CMOS, taken battery out. Even with just the Matrox and a harddrive, nothing.
The only thing that I can think of is that I had some static lurking on me and I've blown the board.

Any ideas, or even theories would be great as I'm really P Oed about this....

Please help

wow, that aignt good.

you you also switched out the jumper?
if you also tried that and still no dice, i could be you blown it.

there is not much else i can say.
if you now how to use a dmm and where to use it on the mobo, id check it.
but if the fans turn on, meaning the psu is good, i might have to say its a done board.

What kind of board was it?

to to put the hardwear "videocard, sound card ect" in a different computer and see if they work. cause if it was a static shock, there is a chances that the extra voltage wasnt enought to blow the curcuit but enough to fry somthing and it may allow the static to get all the way to the other hardwear.
i only pray it didnt!

Best of luck
