It's nice build , what windows are you planning to install ? As for gpu it might be year 2001 as I have tnt 2 pro from 2001 made by manufacturer named super .

Win98SE, it was the primary home os at the time. BTW I think I might have killed the motherboard 😒

I set it all up and gave it a quick test, it worked on first try, cpu detected as celeron 500 and everything. I tried various ram sticks till I found the combination I liked, that being 3x64mb pc100 sticks, so gave it quite a few reboots and had no issues. But then I guess I did something unnecessary. I had set the cpu speed manually from the dip switches to 7.5x66. I thought it would be nice to enable the JumperFree mode so I can tinker with it from the bios and maybe try to OC. So I moved all dip switches to off position and moved the JEN jumper to the jumperfree enable position. When I turned it on, got no boot. I thought, huh, guess it wont work for some reason, ok then, lets go back to how it was. So I moved the dip switches to 7.5x66 again and the JEN jumper to disable jumperfree mode, exactly how it was initially. Turned it on, and got smoke!

I think it came from this Q1 component, in fact I think I saw it briefly flash before I managed to switch it off. Any idea what happened and if its fixable?

P.S. Figured out the cause was a bad power supply re-cap job with fake capacitors. I will re-cap the psu properly now, but about the motherboard, I need to replace this... transistor? And hope nothing else got fried. Would help me out a lot of any of you guys happen to have a P3B-F and can tell me what this transistor is exactly so I can order a replacement. This one bubbled-up in the middle so cant read the markings.

P.S. 2 sadly that component is unreadable, I will have to rely on someone being able to tell me what it was supposed to be 😒

It’s a transistor and I read “BKQ”

Thanks for this photo, looks to be a 2SB1590K, so today I ordered a few of these and a replacement for the LXZ cap near the ps2 ports which swole up during the psu mishap. Hope nothing else got hit

Yesterday the new transistor and capacitor finally arrived, so today I replaced them, and I'm testing it now, and it seems to work, however something is not right. After boot pc speaker starts making weird noises?

P.S. just noticed the keyboard doesnt even work
