This is exactly what happened to my dual 1.25ghz MDD when the processor<BR>
card fried. Your motherboard is probably still good, but I'd be willing<BR>
to bet that if you remove the heat sink and processor card, either one<BR>
or both of your processors will be a little charred.<BR>
<BR>
(Or not. Processor failures don't necessarily have to be that<BR>
catastrophic).<BR>
