Hi, I have been using a Essentio CM6730 for the past 6 or so years and It has been running fairly well. A couple years back I upgraded the default card to a r9 380 and the power supply to a coolmax 1-500. Both changes were successful. Just today, I replaced the stock i5-3350p to a i7-2770k (both on the LGA 1155 socket). I applied thermal paste, slotted the cpu.... and nothing. All fans, lights and typical hard drive noises came up, but there was no signal on my monitor. I replaced my old cpu back into the slot and... nothing again, same symptoms, no signal. I know I have ample power and all the parts work. The only conclusion I could come to was that I somehow damaged the motherboard (although all the pins are clearly aren't bent??). I also tried a cmos reset and have the latest bios for my computer. Any ideas? Please don't link the troubleshooting part/breadboard thread I have seen it many times.
Side note: I have recently become aware that bad cpu's can fry motherboards?!? Could this be the case considering it didnt work with the old cpu? Is there any way to test this?
