After several problems I found out there were bad chips/capacitors on my graphic card and motherboard. And a burnt chip on my graphic card.

I sent back both my motherboard and my psu so they could check if they were bad, and indeed they were.

So I'm getting a new motherboard and psu. Now I'm getting nervous if it also damaged the memory sticks, processor and fans.

Without going into too much trouble, how can I know if my other stuff was also damaged? (CPU, fans, memory sticks, HDDs)

When I get the new parts, I will be doing stress tests, but other than that, what else can I do?

when you get new parts, first off, if the cpu is broken, it won't boot at all. memory sticks you will have to test out individually and your hard drives and fans should all be relatively fine

That's good to hear.

I think the origin of the problem came from the psu. Even with the bad chips/capacitors, my computer could turn on. The sound of the bad chips/capacitors could only be heard when playing videogames.

So I guess my CPU is fine.

Thanks.
