Its a msi 970A g46, 3 years old i think.
3 weeks ago my Wan port died.

Likely yes.

But if you say there's a picture, please put a picture in lol

It definitely doesn't look too good. If it's not working I think its safe to say its dead.

I'm afraid your board is dead. The fact that your board is over 3 years old and the fact the the wan port died 3 weeks ago mean that even if your board somehow isn't dead, it's not reliable at all. You should have stopped using it 3 weeks ago. Stop using it or you risk destroying other components if you have't already fried the CPU and RAM. If I were you I'd also check the PSU. Maybe it is the real cause of your problems, especially if it is too over 3 years old.

The psu is a good brand ocz 80+ id like to think its ok. Hope so, ill test the ports

OCZ has stopped producing PSUs. Some of them were good but some of them were bad, but even the good ones are obsolete by today's standards. Also you should consider the fact that your PSU is over 3 years old now if not older, and even good PSU and their capacitors sometimes don't age well. The bottom line is I wouldn't trust that PSU with a new system, if that's where you are going. Also you don't know if that PSU is haswell ready meaning it may not support and work with new Intel CPUs or worse fry something. With AMD CPU's it may work if it's OK but again it's relatively old.

Well i guess im replacing my psw, its a cost i didnt factor in aswell as thr mobo, all i wanted to do was transfer everything to a new case.. got expensive fast. Thanks!
