I'm don't like the fact that your system died. I don't like to tell you this, but the system death high chances were caused by the NForce2 IO chipset. I have gotten wording that the NForce2 IO chipsets have a major bug that causes the flash BIOS chip to ramdomly lose data!!! That's why when I plan to get a new motherboard, I will get a Via KT400 or Via KT333 IO chipset instead. That sucks. :(
