Hmm, looks like your mom's psu is damaged when you tested your board with it. Your best bet is to replace the psu asap b4 it kills your mom's rig too.

that's what i think too.... man i bang it up pretty bad when i tested it ... that's wack... i kill a perfectly good PSU for nothing... now i feel bad ... i guess it's time to give her a new one... my mobo is dead and it's brinign the PSU with it.. dang it... the OCZ modstream is 1 gay PSU though... that thing is so stiff u can't even move the wires... it looks nice as hell but man it suck major... i regret buying it..

Is the PSU still under warranty? If so, USE IT.

I do not see how you could have caused an internal mishap within the PSU with a dead mobo.

My PC P&C 510 SLI Deluxe decided it wanted to kill itself all of a sudden one afternoon while gaming. I had no other PSU available...I'm very thankful for their great warranty and fast turn around!

If the PSu can be replaced/fixed under warranty, i would take advantage of that ASAP. Do not risk damaging your mom's PC as well as having the poetential of starting a PC fire...then a house fire....
