Hi guys, long time member but its been awhile since i posted. I came up with a really weird issue
my setup
XFX FX-795A-TNFC Radeon HD 7950 Core Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD4H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM
ADATA XPG SX900 ASX900S3-256GM-C 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
So i caught my little guy tinkering around my pc didnt think anything much of it, he managed to the get the door off the case but didnt get into the pc itself. I put the door back on and several hours later i went to go play bf4. I noticed my computer acting very slow which it hasnt done since I purchased it. The CPU usage went up to about 100%. I reboot and the reboot was very slow took almost 5 minute on an SSD. So i shut it down completely opened up the side and it looks like one of the wires got caught inside the heatsink fan disabling the fan from spinning. So im guessing it was overheating, i let it cool down (it wasn't really hot to touch but it was warm) and went to go boot it back up about 30 minutes later and nothing at all. No boot.
I figured i blew the PSU so i went to best buy and payed crazy prices for a 750w, brought it back and plugged it in and nothing again except a flashing power light on the motherboard power switch. I took off the heatsink and took out the cpu, no visible signs of burn and no offs mells at all, Reapplied some arctic silver and put it back together. Plugged in only the motherboard and one single ram chip and still nothing at all. Also tried with the video card plugged in as well.
Is it possible I blew my mobo or CPU? or maybe both?
I could probally RMA but my problem is I work from home so I will be needing this pc on Monday. Is there anything else I should be testing or is it a trip to microcenter for me and missing out on football tomorrow?
thanks guys
