I need some information.
I have a friend who has built several (15-20) systems using this board. They are all identical, and are all using the ATi Rage128 video card. Recently, the boards have begun failing, and the failure common to all is a burnout of the AGP bus, literally burning up the video card. (Nice charred spot in the middle of the GPU!)
My question is this: Has anybody experienced something similar?
I need to help narrow the problem down to either the motherboard or the video card, but I have not seen anything similar elsewhere. These machines are all running Celerons, and they are not overclocked. The computers belong to a computer school, and they need them for training purposes.
This problem has me baffled as to the cause.
