i was wondering if anyone had a spare socket A board laying around that i could buy. see the deal is that i had a nice gigabyte via 600 board and it started getting flaky a while ago because the cpu was getting far to much voltage and there were random restats and overheating. Last night it kicked the can and started smoking as a chip melted.( i will post a pick some time. ) so now I am really sad and a broke college student and wondering what to do.
i really want a 3800+ but to do that i need a new video card ram and mother board. thats 530 without the video card.
so i was going to wait on that unless anyone wants to fund me, and that leaves me with getting a new socket A board and i still dont know if anything else was fried. i am only going to spend 50-60 on a new one but if anyone can get me one for cheaper please let me know. thanks
