If the electricity killed something you can get a refund of the damaged goods if you can proof it's the the suppliers fault.
No joke : different electrical appliances had a problem in my parents home. I measured the voltage and it fluctuated between 185 and 230 (where you pay and should get a constant 220). After the problem was "investigated" (boeha) by the electric(al ?) company, they got refunded a solar lamp (solarium bench - tan instrument ?).
You said KT7A ? I had an enormous amount of troubles with that mobo ... changed/swapped ALL HW-components ... NO GO. Then sold the board to Blackrabbit for a measly 25 EUR. It worked fine for him. Afterwards i read there could be a problem with the middle ATX screw ... if it was tightened too much the mobo would just stop working.

If failure rate is at your level the team members will back you up at M².

Problem solved: The wallplug I was using had no grounding at all. I'm using another one now, and my hair doesn't smoke anymore when I touch the case.
btw, Abit's rma service for the max-series is great, within one to three days there should arrive a new mobo here!
thx for your offers but hopefully I can use my own rig; cpu, ram, graka etc are tested and still working
