Hi Guys,
I would like to thank anyone that tries to help me out in advance,as this is the second time the community have helped me fix this old dog!
I stupidly tried to play Skyrim on this pc I built:
Operating System: Windows 7 pro 64 bit
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: System manufacturer
System Model: System Product Name
BIOS: Default System BIOS
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 4MB RAM
Motherboard: Asus M2N32-SLI DELUXE
Graphics Card: GeForce 9800GT
PSU (NEW): Corsair CX750
while playing everything shut down and the PSU popped, smoke came out of it, so I turned everything off.
I bought a new PSU (see above) and a second hand Motherboard (another M2N32 SLI DELUXE on ebay just in case).
I tested the new MB with 1 stick of Ram (in all slots) & just the Heat Sink & CPU (clean with new thermal paste).
I made sure the 12v atx was connected and the CPU fan.
I checked the teeth on the CPU and noticed 2 of them are slightly darker than the rest!
I erased the CMOS and jumped the pins.
When I turn on the PC, the lights all come on the MB, the fans all run but I get no beeps at all.
I fitted everything on to the MB (graphics card, cd drive, keyboard, monitor etc) and get the same.. no beeps and no bios displayed.
In fact when I replaced the old MB it does the same except it turns off automatically after a few seconds.
Any ideas??
I read that CPU'S very rarely die, and its nearly always the mobo that goes when the PSU fries, is thus true?
