About 7 years back I built a Windows 2008 R2 based machine that I also use for occasional gaming. It has a P8Z68-V Pro mainboard, 32GB of ram, i7 (can't recall which), and a GTX580.
Last week the power company came by and cut power to replace a pole and now my PC won't power on. I'm in the process of troubleshooting it but also thinking about just building a new one. I think the mainboard is shot (but still waiting for Corsair to confirm the paperclip test on the power supply that only spins things up for 1 second is good/bad).
I have not followed the industry at all but having built my own PCs for 30 years, I'm sure just about everything is obsolete. I'd like to at least salvage the memory though if possible. I don't know though if memory technology has changed in the past 7 years.
Recommendations?
