Alright...
Asrock P43Twins1600 MB (1 year old)
4 GB (2X2) DDR2 800 OCZ Ram (1 year old)
8800GTS BFG Vid (2 years old)
650 Watt Corsair PS (2 years old)
Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Month or so ago I plugged my wife's iPod Nano with a FM transmitter add-on into the front USB port on the computer to charge. Computer immediately let out an awful screeching noise from speakers and locked up completely. I was surfing the web at the time, not doing anything taxing. It was totally unresponsive so I hit the ol reset button and the computer restarted but the video card would not display anything. Unplugged USB port from MB and reset bios using jumper, computer came back to life.
Last night, playing Bioshock. Locked up and emitted same screeching noise. Reset button, no video. Reset bios jumper, again no video. Like the computer is sticking pre-post. Now it won't even power-up on the MB...
Power supply or motherboard?
I will plug into and test PS with my test box tonight after work, but if you guys have a majority opinion here I want to get something ordered and shipped today so I can get back up and running, lots of school work needs to be done (thank God I use a D, E and F drive.... everything is backed up safe and sound as of yesterday...)
The reason why I suspect the MB at all is because it all started with with iPod USB thing...
