I was having some slow internet connection and I had a spare lan card at my place so I decided to connect it and see if it fixes the issue. I installed it into the slot and when I was putting the internet cable in it popped out of the socket and my computer shut down. I took out the lan card immediately and tried to power on the pc again. The first time I powered it on it showed me an error, some sort of Master disk - none, Slave disk - none. This stayed there for a couple of more attempts to power on the computer. After a few tries it was stuck on bios screen and it wouldnt go any further. I could access the bios but everything was loading very slowly. The next time I powered on the computer it was stuck on the bios screen ( motherboard intro , which is GA-MA770-US3 if it matters ) and no matter what I press on the keyboard it stays there and refuses to go any further. I tried to reset the cmos by removing the battery but I couldnt get it out of the socket. Ive done this on like 50 different computers, but this one doesnt pop up no matter how hard I try I dont know how that is. I tested the ram by running kits one by one on different slots - no result. Tried 2 different Power Supplies - Dandy 450w and Fortron 350w which was supplying the components with power until yesterday. I tried to run it without the video card aswell but it didnt do any good. I think I killed the motherboard when the lan card got out of the socket, or the HDD is broken, but it is heating up and makes some sounds so I think its the motherboards fault. Im looking for some solution to the problem only in hardware matter, because I cant turn it on therefore I cant run anything on it. I dont have any spare parts to test or atleast as new as these ones are. I dont want to be blamed for what happened, I realise now that it was stupid, but it is what it is. If you can tell me for sure that the motherboard is fried atleast I would know whats wrong with the computer. Will not be happy about it but
I will accept it.
I saw a lot of threads on this forum about this but none of them has any answers that I havent tried. When I touch the motherboards heatsink it is hot, and cpu's cooler and gpu are working fine as far as I can tell. Im open to any suggestions that would lead to fixing this. Thank you very much if you took the time to read this, god bless.
