Came home yesterday and my machine was totally dead. Wouldn't power on at all. Tried the usual turned the hard switch off and back on, switched plugs, cables, etc. and pronounced it dead. Picked up a new 500w PSU on my way home today, installed it when I got home, and now it's weird.
It powers on now, but I never get POST. My monitors never show a machine connected. They stay in sleep mode like the machine is off. I have 3 monitors on 2 cards, so I removed the extra card and left only one monitor hooked up to the primary, still nothing. The cards I have don't require a power input.
I do get an occasional HDD light blip, like it's trying, but that's all I get. When I power it on, there are 4 blue diagnostics LEDs on the board that light up. I pulled the processor, tried again, and get the same behavior. I've pulled everything but the video card (no onboard video) and still get 4 LEDs and no POST.
I found this on my mobo/processor combo:

That's just one of the articles I found saying not to use this combo. Wish that info was around in early 2013 when I built this system.
Is this related?
When my PS let go, did it take my motherboard with it? Or was it the other way around?
Anything I can do to resurrect this thing?
