I got it bad and that is not good [asus a7v] [onvia]
Q: Antec 300W bought 2 motherboards case from onvia.
Toasted (Asus A7V) and two processors (1GHz Athalon). And I mean smoked.
Is has a history of problems with A7V?
I tend to think I have a problem with the power voltage supply.
Any suggestions?
Re:That thought crossed my mind, too Bad…but then I thought "nah, couldn't be…" Who knows, though?
Re:Whoa…are you using stand-offs? The back of the mobo cannot be grounded ANYWHERE!
Good Luck next time. 
Re:You need to try changing that power supply!
In my experience, the A7V is a work of art.
Re:did you check and see if there is a short between the back of the motherboard and the case, i had that happen once.
Re:The A7V itself is a fine motherboard which hasn't given me any problems at all. I'm currently running two systems with that mobo, and both are incredibly stable (and not anywhere near burning up
).
It might be a problem with the combination of the A7V and your power supply, but I haven't heard of this happening from anyone else, so I'm not sure if this is correct or not. Still, the A7V is a great motherboard, and it's a shame that you've had such bad experiences with it. :frown:
Good luck in the future.
Re:I tend to think you're correct. I wouldn't be testing that theory again. Don't know about the history of that case/ps/mb.
