So... have you been sorted out?

Do you have a handle on testing voltages now?

a multimeter shouldn't damage your circuit by simply checking continuity. however, i've never checked continuity on a live circuit. i can't imagine a scenario when you would need to. if a circuit is off and you want to see if it works, you check continuity. if a circuit is on, all you need to do is read the voltage.

Ya, I understand it now, thanks everyone.

I hope I helped

But that OL means overload or basically that the protection circuit is protecting it


I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Before I did computers I wwas big into electronics and got good at this stuff.

I was right because the OL opeared on the screen which is the protecion.

You can be wrong too.......

If you measure resistance you will cause an arc and it will fry your card/mobo/whatever.

You check resistances when it is OFF, or else it will damage your hardware/multimeter, no matter how good it is.

kthx.
Hell, he said his multimeter manual said not to. Don't give false information when false information could severely cripple his rig.
