OC and kill the power supply !!

[fvay]

I have a Celeron 300a with Step Yukon cooler. after running it on 450 for coupleweeks systems starded shutting down and restart itself. one time it wouldnt start posting at all. i was using a sparkle 300W PSU. i got a new enlight 250 power supply and thing went fine until i overcloked again. this time it look like cpu died. i am using an Abit BH-6 mobo. Any body had similar experience before ? thanks for any suggestions

Step guarantys their processors and cooling systems for LIFE...try giving em a call...it may not be a total disaster...

Do yourself a favor. Get a real PS! An Enlight PS destroyed two brand-new MBs. I will never use one again. I presently have a Sparkle (came with my AsusTek T10-AB) and if it so much as blinks, it's out the door! In fact, you're post makes me think I need to replace it... just in case. The PS, IMO, is the most underrated and ignored component in the PC.

Scratch that last post. I 'had' a Sparkle PS. Just ordered a fine one from www.power-on.com. (http://www.power-on.com.)

I ve heard good opinions about sparkle b4. that makes me think if it was any grounding issue that fried the PSU
