- Hello out there in netland,
-
- I have just purchased a new 386 33mhz motherboard to replace my 10mhz
- 8088. The board fits in the case fine, and the power supply hookup
- connects, but doesn't look right to me. The bord gets power, but I
- don't think it is getting enough. When I turn it on my EGA monitor
- goes from snow to black, indicating that something is trying to happen
- but nothing else does anything. Drives come on and spin a second but
- don't do the normal (spin, grind, grind) checkup sequence. Do I need
- a bigger power supply (I have a 150 watt xt style one now) or is the
- problem somewhere else?
