Epox 8k3a+ help please

[Guest]

I moved my case and when I tried to switch it on,the LED did'nt come on-so no POSTing.Now the company I bought it from say my CPU overheated and damaged the board.Can this be since the overheating protection in the BOis would switch the PC off before the this happened.Now they would not help me because they did'nt put the heatsink on.Anyone know who can help me with this or who I can contact.

remove the board from the case and try it that way. You said moving the case caused the problem, maybe something shifted in there and now it's grounding.

I diconnected everything to the board and a also tried another power supply with the board outside the case and nothing connected to it.No LED's=no POST.

only thing left is to clear CMOS and try it. If it still doesn't work, either the board OR the CPU is bad.

Can someone tell me if its possible for the CPU to damage the mainboard.That the reason the support gave me for not carrying my warrenty,since the board is only 3 weeks old.
