So I finally got around to replacing my buggy nforce2 Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with an Abit NF7-S2 ( http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=204 ). After setting everything up and turning the system on nothing showed on the monitor. I tried to start it up a second time and thats when I noticed smoke coming from around the video card...
The mobo's manual says not to use 3.3v video cards, but I have no idea if the ATi Radeon 9700Pro is 1.5 or 3.3 and cannot find a specific answer.
So did I fry my video card, motherboard, or both?
specs:
AMD Athlon 2600+
Abit NF7-S2
512x2 OCZ Plat.Rev.2
BBA Radeon 9700Pro
Antec 430True
