After a bit of advice here
I built a 3570K based PC in 2012 and the system stopped working over Christmas. PSU works, graphics card lights up but the PC won't boot. Tried clearing cmos but the computer won't make it to bios. Thought it might be the power switch so tried to short it with a screwdriver and that didn't work either.
Is there anyway to find out if the CPU is fried as I don't want to buy a new motherboard to find out that I need a new CPU anyway.
