Hi y'all

I've been running an Asus A7N8X-E for about 18months now, a few weeks ago it
started developing clicks and crackles. The last time I had this sort of
nonsense from my PC (Epox 8KTA3) the mobo and the power supply melted
together at the main power connector. Now the newer board has done the same
thing. What the ... ?

Here's the config

A7N8X-E mobo
2800XP CPU
200 GB Seagate ATA system drive (dual boot 98 / XPro)
2 x 120GB WD ATA audio drives
Corsair TwinX 2 x 512MB PC3200
Matrox G550 Dual Head
3 x EDS
DVD Burner

Are AMD-CPU systems prone to this sort of thing ? Or is my video card
sucking too much power thru the board ?

Meanwhile, I'm struggling to get any help from Asus over getting the thing
repaired replaced, so I figured I'd build a new system anyway. Would an
Intel CPU with an Asus P4C800 be a suitable option ? The reason I ask is
that I'm thinking of getting a Zalman TNN enclosure (those things that look
like a miniature panic room http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2187.htm), and
this seems to be the only board on their comnpatibility list that's like to
allow dual boot into W98SE / XP.

Anyone out there using a P4C800 board with PARIS ?

All suggestions appreciated

Thanks - Stewart.
