Hello. I just put my new system together and ran into a problem. When I powered up my hard drive turned, cpu fan turned, and cd rom lit up but I had no video. I shut the system off and checked everything out and when I tried to power back up the cpu fan turned for a few seconds and then the power supply droped out. I pulled it apart and discovered that the fuse for the incoming voltage was blown. It is a 350w power supply. The system is an ECS Mobo with AMD xp 1500 cpu. Any sugestions? Do you think I fried my mobo & cpu?

Thanks.
