About 3 weeks ago i was watching digital on my pc through the tv card, and surfin the net at the same time. Then my pc just froze on me.
I restarted the comp, and nothing. Just dead. Turns out i blew my motherboard and had to have it replaced. Anyone ever heard of something like this happening before? I got no idea how it blew the motherboard.
Well its a brand new ish pc, 3 months old and pretty much state of the art ( so they say ) so it was under warranty luckily. Phoned up fujitsu and they organized and engineer who came out a week later with a new motherboard and now im back in action
Just seemed odd for the motherboard to have blown thats all.

i fear you may be reading to much into what you were doing at the time , things like this happen , but if it happened again when you are doing the same thing then i would wonder
It can happen, if the motherboard is a cheaper model, sometimes (rarely) you get "Lose" bits of solder etc. which once it get warm may fall across soemthing to short the board. Other cases I've seen of this is a faulty PSU which melts the board - Or as suggested earlier fan failure cooking the system
