So it started with my computer getting surges and shutting down while I was gaming, I read somewhere that my 24 pin connected could be loose. So I checked it and it was out a bit, so I pushed it back in (forgetting to ground myself) and then tried to start up my pc... It didn't turn on. After hours of messing with stuff and trying many different configs I gave up and went to bed. I have a much older machine and I have just finished testing my powersupply, Graphics card and Ram on this older machine and it all seems to be running just fine.
My problem is that I have no clue how to test my CPU as my older system has a older chip slot. My motherboard is the H170-PLUS D3 from Asus and I don't know if my motherboard is fried or the CPU.
I have a strong feeling it's the motherboard that I broke when I didn't ground myself but I don't want to drop £100+ on a new motherboard to find out that the CPU is the problem here.
