A while ago my entire pc shut offer with no power to mb. I just replaced motherboard and it’s getting power now but no output to monitor. I have posted a pic of the cpu and there is a burn type dark mark on the upper middle part. Is this the issue? I tried using a direct vga connection from mb and I didn’t get any image. As far as I understand that means a cpu problem not gpu? Am I wrong here or could it be gpu as well or not cpu at all and entirely gpu?
