hello all,
so lets start with the specs:
brand new ASUS P8B75-M/CSM motherboard Micro ATX
8GB of 1600 Mhz ram in slots 1 and 3 from the left (A1,B1)
Intel I7 2600k CPU
875w PSU
2x 500gb seagate
radeon 5870 GPU
symptom as of now: pc powers up, with "no input signal" displayed, but everything sounds fine, minus not having a motherboard speaker plugged into the "SPEAKER" slot. mobo did not come with one, will purchase tomorrow at fry's.
About a week ago some juice spilled on top of my computer from my brothers kids while i was not around. my wife called me, told me what happened and that the computer had a loud fan noise after that. i came home to find my slot 1 GPU filled with juice, juice residue dried on my motherboard (aurora r3 motherboard 46MHW-69702, not new one) and anything it had touch was surrounded by white.. time for a new motherboard. i was able to have my friend help me out a few days later to see what was still good and what was bad by swapping parts into his pc. my ram was fine, the bottom gpu ran up fine (top one was ruined). we were not able to swap processor because i have intel LGA 1155 socket and he has amd's AM3+ socket. we were not able to swap PSU's either because he had to leave to go to dinner.
so i went to fry's this weekend picked up a new motherboard and was able to get the ASUS motherboard. i got it fully installed, checked the ram slots to make sure they were correct, installed i7 from other motherboard, reapplied thermal paste, put on heat sink, rechecked all my connections and started it up. same exact thing. black screen "no input signal" and computer doesn't seem to boot up, ALSO i don't get any power to any USB ports, tried them all with old and new MOBO, don't know if thats normal before boot up or not. can't remember.
this motherboard has onboard graphics, also the i7 i have supposedly has intel hd 4000 graphics or something like that, so i tried the hdmi on the motherboard, didn't work, tried installing the good GPU, nothing.
so is this a sign of a dead CPU? the juice could have gotten in the socket, or is this a sign of faulty PSU? some of the connections had been affected.
thanks for taking the time if you have read this far.
