I moved into my new house over the weekend, set up my computer desk, wired my computer and hit the power button. There was a loud audible pop and spark and my system was dead. I took the box apart, checked the connections around the power button, looked for any scorch marks or damage that was visible on the mainboard. I reset the cmos jumper on the board. Then I went out and bought a new 550 watt power supply (same wattage I had before) and my system is back operational again. However my fps has gone down big time.
I used to average around 30 fps in World of Warcraft in a heavy city zone, now I'm at about 14, in raid last night I would hover at about 16 and down to 7 or 8 in heavy fights.
Running Abit Fatality AN9 32x motherboard, 2 gig of ram, Nvidia 7800GT graphics board, with AMD dual core processor.
The system has been rock steady for a long while. I did move, and have a new isp, but my latency never spiked higher then 200 last night.
This is the power supply I bought as a replacement...
