Hi,
I recently bought Gigabyte MB GA-8IPE1000 Pro-G, installed my old
parts on it (VGA, HDD and Modem) and bought Intel P4 3GHZ 1MB cache
and Dual channel RAM 400 and a new Floppy drive. When I started the PC
everything went fine but after 4 minutes I had a problem the ICH5 was
burnt. I took the CPU for check in the supplier shop the CPU was in
good state. The supplier gave me another new mainboard, I installed
everything carefully . The ICH5 was also burnt again, though I didn't
connect any device to any port. The supplier went crazy and tested the
CPU again on another different board and no sign of trouble , then he
checked the RAM on another PC the RAM was OK. Then I replaced the case
and installed another VGA, the older one was LEADTEK MY VIVO TI4200
128MB the new one is FX5500 128MB and the PC showed no problem

Could this problem be a reason of my old VGA though it is still
installed on my old GA-8ipe900 board and is working nicely.

Could you have accidentally grounded a portion of the mobo that shouldn't be
grounded--i.e., the bottom touching some part of the case?
