    I'm down for a few days, I think my video card upgrade a few months ago put my measley 550W PSU under stress and it died. Or it just died, I'm not certain.

    Either way the replacement should be in from Newegg in a couple days, and as long as the rest of the system is still working I should be back up then.

    Best of luck getting everything back up and running. "Measley" 550W power supply? My crappy old Celeron box has a 140W supply!

    Well, even if the 550W was adiquate, an online power supply calculator recommended going with a 750W. System uses about 430W total under load (Gaming), when the board is running it's closer to about 150W, but having a 750W is only an extra $20 and allows for upward mobility.

    Everything was fine after I replaced the PSU, so alls well.
