I just recieved my athlon 64 3000 yesterday. Put it into my msi kt800 neo installed windows played a few games....then i decided to plug the cable into the nic and for some reason i didnt think to shut the comp off. and then boom! fried out the mobo......anyone else ever had something like that happen?

    Plug a network cable into the NIC? Never heard or seen a comp go crazy over that... and I have the same mobo.

    Nope never had that happen, actually never even heard of that happening. I've seen nics fried before as a result of a search but it was because of other factors not just plugging a cable in. Hell I plug in cables to live machines constantly to test things out. Definitely send it back that shouldn't happen.
