My friend and I are planning to get new PS. whats worrying me is that i think my friends mobo is causing the trouble. So if i replace mines, i'll be fine, but if we replace his, the new power supply will be good as garbage. any ideas or suggestions?

Both our computers are fairly new
1.6Ghz P4 300W ps (1 yr)
2GHZ Athlon 300w ps (5 months)

Yep. It will likely be toast.

You can check the power supplies by short the green wire the black wire immediately next to it. If the fan spins the PSU is ok. Usually.

On another note, I have a P4 board I can seel your friend. Pretty much brand new.
