I'm going to bet its the PSU being faulty. If that many components died and continue to when replaced it makes sence. Replace your PSU to xfx seasonic corsair antec or evga. Why are you using an overclock able CPU on a non overclock able motherboard?

So the MSI B85-G43 motherboard is dead?

Without knowing what components died, I can't say if it's back luck or bad choices. It can be both. The PSU is definitely one that I would recommend changing. While I don't think the PSU would've killed those components, a bad PSU is not something you want to cheapen on because it has to provide power to everything.

thanks guys ..i will try changing the psu..and about the motherboard should i change it, and if so any suggestions

ksham · Jul 4, 2014

If the motherboard still works, then I wouldn't change it until you verify that the PSU change fixes the problem.

no the motherboard is dead ,so i can either return it and get something else or replace it

You will need to replace it. Your computer won't work without a functioning motherboard. What country do you live in? And what is your budget?

i live in istanbul,turkey..around 100-150 $

Definitely a bad choice using a b series mb with an unlocked processor

Lots of components failing ..... power supply is killing them most likely

yamansa · Jul 5, 2014

so should i change the motherboard or the psu or both ?

Outlander_04 · Jul 5, 2014

power supply

80+ bronze or better
Minimum 500 watts

yamansa :

For the motherboard or PSU or both? If it's both, you're probably going to need a slightly bigger budget. Also, where can you buy computer components in Turkey? Can you provide links?

ksham :

for the motherboard of course...vatanbilgisayar.com ...about the psu just a good one but not too expensive
thank you so much

Wow a very limited selection. Is that the only place?

Here are the only options I would recommend:
Corsair VS 550W
Corsair VS 650W

I recommend the 650W if you plan on CrossFireX. 550W is sufficient for one HD 7950.

As for motherboard, what size motherboards can your case fit?

yamansa · Jul 5, 2014

ksham :

the case is cooler master haf 912

ksham · Jul 5, 2014

For one graphics card - Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3
For two graphics card - Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI

The second is slightly more expensive but if you plan to run more than one graphics card, that would be the way to go. They are a little more expensive than you budget, but those were the cheapest Z97 motherboards that I could find that are at least good quality.

thank you so much..hope this solve everything

Also, please keep in mind that if you plan to overclock, you will need an aftermarket heatsink. The stock cooler will not handle overclocking. The motherboards that I chose for you are capable of overclocking so it should work fine with your unlocked processor. But you don't need to waste money now. You can always buy the heatsink later and overclock later.
