I overclocked my CPU (AMD Phenom ii x4 955 3.2ghz to 3.8ghz) using the Easy OC Toggle switch on my MSI 870 g45 mobo and was running Prime95. I had prime running for about 20 mins, I was watching my core's temps, the highest it got was 56C (water cooled) when the system failed. I tried to reboot and nothing. No power at all. Not even the fans. I pulled power from all drives, video card. Still nothing. I shorted my CMOS jumper and even shorted the CMOS battery. No change. I pulled out the PSU and tried it in another machine and its working. I think I fried my Mobo. My question is, how can i be sure. And what are the chances my CPU is dead too. I don't have a multi meter. TY.

Thanks for the reply. :) I removed the GPU and hit the power button. The front fan on the chassis, has LEDs, they turned on for a split second. That was it. (It was interesting) So, dead mobo? TY

Do you have a rig in which you can try your parts with? Let`s say try running your system with different PSU and check if it works. Try to borrow a functional PSU to your friend and try it on your rig. Here we can verify the true source of problem, it is better than having wild assumptions.

As I already said: " I pulled out the PSU and tried it in another machine and its working. " My PSU is good.
