Do I need to replace my cpu?

[TangoDown982]

Hello community! Today Im passing through problems booting my computer and Im looking for help and some advices!

About a month ago I was playing with my computer while I was doing some crypto mining with nicehash. After a few hours and some overheat my computer turned off and I realized I fried the power supply. and the motherboard. Two days ago I bought a new motherboard and Power supply, when I builded everything and turned on the computer, It only showed a black screen, It didnt even showed the startup screen, in wich the company logo and boot commands show up. After that I tried the same setup with another processor (Amd Athlon II) and It worked flawlessly, any ideas? This is my setup:

AMD FX-8120
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
2X4 GB PATRIOT RAM MODULES
GIGABYTE G1 GAMING NVIDIA GTX 1070 (GV-N1070G1)
EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1070 SUPERCLOCKED ACX 3.0
CORSAIR AX 860 80 PLUS PLATINUM

You pretty much figured it out, CPU is fried.

Isnt it possible that I need to update my bios to run that kind of processor?

You can try but it looks like the FX-8120 was supported on this board since the launch bios. See the CPU AVL vs bios version here http://

get new cpu amd board and ram
your cpu is most probably fried
that chipset support FX out of the box
and this cpu is too weak for 2 gtx1070
even current gen pentium will be better than that
