My questions
1.Can motherboard be repaired at local shop when it get burnt?
DealSeeker: Yes, but it depends on the extent of damage. Sometimes it makes more sense to just get a new one.
2.Is motherboard coverd under warrenty when it get burnt?
DealSeeker: Depends on how you present your case. Not covered for power surges or problems in your electrical connection.
3.If not,please suggest me a good motherboard
DealSeeker: N/A; Can’t spare that much time.
4.Is this good choice ZEB-G31 (http://www.ebay.in/itm/Motherboard-Zebronics-G3…)
DealSeeker: No. Buy original Intel, Asus, or even Gigabyte for reliability.
5.Which SMPS should I get now?
DealSeeker: Check hardware websites like anandtech or tomshardware. Unless you have a dual GPU or multiple HDDs, any 400W+ SMPS from a decent brand should do the job. NEVER purchase a cheap SMPS – it’s a critical component. Also see this thread: http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t…
6.Is zebronics brand good in smps?(http://www.snapdeal.com/product/zebronics-450-w…)
DealSeeker: No.
See my inline answers above.
Most importantly, buy a good power strip with surge protection (Belkin; learn about the Joules rating and choose accordingly). Also get your cabinet’s power button checked. I have heard of cases where a faulty power button/wiring has led to similar losses. Going by the components you have mentioned, you probably purchased a cheap cabinet so this could be a possible reason for the mishap. You might want to consider replacing the cabinet as well if there is an issue with the power button.
^ thank you for your reply.But Gigabyte motherboards does not support DDR2.Only local brands available,Anyone can suggest good brands supporting DDR2 ram and pentium D processor?
It will be very hard to find a LGA775 motherboard from a decent manufacturer . Your only option is to check with some stores in a computer market like Nehru place to find out if they still have some old stocks left. I would certainly not recommend you to buy a motherboard for your processor now. Pentium D is very outdated processor by today’s standard. DDR2 memory is more expensive than DDR3. There would be no upgrade path in investing in a pentium D based rig.
If you are on a budget, a much better option would be to buy a an inexpensive dual core processor with H81 mobo. Should cost you under 6k. Add a 4GB DDR3 memory for another 2k. It will make a much potent and efficient system.
Unfortunately most of the people do not realize the importance of a good branded PSU.. some of the good brand power supplies in india comes from Corsair, Antec and seasonic. Bad power supplies could cause a lot of damage including burned components, data loss etc.
You can buy Antec 350. it is a very decent PSU under 2k budget.
