I recently purchased a motherboard, a Gigabyte GA-7VT600P-RZ (Socket A board designed for Athlon XP CPUs) and I managed to get it to power on once but then I noticed the smell of burned electronics. I very quickly cut the power but it seems like I might not have been fast enough, as when I tried the board with another PSU that tested good it wouldn't power on at all. Is there any hope to save this board? It wasn't cheap and among Socket A boards it's one of the best (supports 400FSB CPUs and has onboard SATA) so I'd hate to just scrap it.
