How it got fried? Was it running hot all the time?
Stupid guess: Maybe the changed mac is written to e.g. an EEPROM and it ran out of write cycles and bugged out then.
Yeah it was an older Win7 system and kinda shit hardware from Acer. Don't think the wifi card was a brand I had ever heard of either.
