Got a dual athlon board with 64bit PCI slots. Plugged a creative labs modem in, power supply emitted smoke and smell, now the 64bit slots are busted, and the 32bit ones are terribly slow! New motherboard, plugged a raid controller into one, PC would not start. What's going on here? The cards has the relevant keys meaning they should work! The raid controller even specified it would!

Served from a pentawatercooled dual 2.8GHz silent Athlon with half TB RAID.

Using a Tyan S2460 with a 3Com 3C-996B-T Gigabit Server nic (a 64 bit card)
and it works well. The S2460 is very picky about PSUs and eats the "wrong"
ones - if you have a S2460 have you seen this:

had it happen. If you're using another board however, this won't apply.
Since the power supply emmitted smoke and smell have you replaced it and if
so, with what? If not, how do you know its not a dead/dying PSU thats
causing your ongoing probs?
