did I fry my cpu or what? please help!

[justinjamieson]

so this overheating issues never happened with my old gtx 650 ti, but a couple of months ago I decided to upgrade to a GTX 760, And it'd overheat a fair bit causing my pc to reboot, and it's just done it again this time, and when I try to reboot it won't make the "beep" sound or properly just turn on

The "Beep" as you put it is the signal which comes form the Motherboard indicating that booting from disk was successful. I had something similar when i upgraded my MOBO. Here's what I'd suggest to do.

1. Unplug everything from your motherboard and the very case and only leave Power Cord and ram with CPU on.
2. Try turning pc on - it should go as far as BIOS. If not - CPU, MOBO or PSU at fault. If it does go to next step
3. Then connect HDD back and while turning PC on, put a hand on it so you can feel if the disk is spinning inside. If still doesnt boot then it's either HDD or Motherboard at fault . If it does go to next step
4. Turn off PC and start connecting parts one by one while checking if pc still working between each part. Start with GPU, then case fans etc. If it stops working at some part It's either PSU or MOBO fault. If it does go to next step
5. Finally repeat step 4 but with outer add-ons like speakers, headphones, External hard drives and Webcams plug each device seperately and see if it works. If it does it might have been some static electricity gathered up in your MoBo, if it doesn't or it stops at some part then it's probably Motherboards fault.

Hope that helps.

Don't forget to smile

You need to open your CPu cabinet. Most probably your PSU has died . Check what feels burnt or black. If your PSU is working fine then its fan would be spinning and something else has been fried. CPU is least likely to be since it takes overclocking for that.

Which is strange seeing as I just got a new PSU (i had to get it for the 760 to even work), 650 watt litepower thermaltake

EDIT: Also, the stat screen told me (before the pc stopped working) that the cpu temp was like 120-150 soooo.

Thermaltake, leading brand manufacturer of power supplies, cases and cooling solutions, today announced their latest additon to the Litepower series of entry-level power supplies. The Thermaltake Litepower 350W, 450W and 550W are specifically targeting energy efficient PC systems with lower overall power consumption in application fields such as HTPCs, office and entertainment computers. While out-of-this-world high-end PC configurations freuquently require a nuclear power plant of your own in the living room, small form factor setups simply don’t. In fact for HTPC-like computers it is important to have shorter and fewer cables to easier keep order within the case and maintain as much open space as possible for an optimized air flow. The Thermaltake Litepower series now offers you all these characteristics.

Most likely that the cooling system was not able to cool down the new gpu. This could have damaged the hdd. I would check that the cooling system, fans and thermal paste are sufficient for your new gpu. Also make sure that the motherboard can handle it. Finally make sure that the power supply can give enough power to the new gpu. As you get better gpu, the other components have to be able to handle the increase in power.
