Hi there,
I'm having some bad problems here and I really need some advice, I'm pulling my hair out over this. If you have any advice please post a reply.
First, my PC was working great, then it turned off one day, I unplugged the cable and plugged it back and heard a shock it didn't sound good. My first feeling was that the PSU was broken so I ordered a new PSU anyway. I performed the paper clip on this PSU so I knew it wasn't DOA it didn't work on the motherboard though.
I came to the sound conclusion that it had blown my motherboard, so I ordered a new motherboard from the amazon (accordingly used with minor box damage) it arrived and I set up as normal (CPU & RAM) and tried to boot again but alas it would not.
So I have three options on what happened
* I notice that on my previous motherboard there looks to be some brown almost discoloring on the CPU pin ports. Is my CPU faulty?

So I have three options on what happened
- The first shock actually fired not just my motherboard but the CPU and other parts also.
- The board that arrived is DOA and that's why it won't boot
- The CPU has been damaged but it may have also damaged this new motherboard too.,.
