Hey guys, about 2 days ago I was on my computer talking to my friends on discord. I was mid conversation when my whole pc turned off and scared the shit out of me. I thought there was a power outage but realized the lights in the hallway was still on. Anyways, when I tried to turn the pc back on, it wouldn’t turn on. I opened the pc and smelled inside. Obviously hot air, but everything looked normal to me. I tried the paper clip psu test and the psu turned on. Does that mean my motherboard has gone bad? Pc noob btw
