Well I see someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this moring! I am sure everyone has done something completely stupid in there life even you J. Anyway lets see if we cant fix your problem. which card are you using the old one or the new one ?If its the old one then it has to be bad never seen a card take a hit that killed M/B and CPU and lived. I would also find some more memory I doubt the old stuff is any good either. Kinda of sucks to have to go through this but it does happen.
