OLD SYSTEM BEFORE BREAKING:
PSU: Ace Black 120mm Fan 750W
MBoard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX
GPU: XFX HD 7850 Core Edition 1GB GDDR5
Processor: AMD FX-6300
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance
-----------------------------------------------
What happened
I was on my PC playing a game and my pc instantly turned off, upon trying to turn it back on, it stopped after 1 second. The front power button LED goes off right as I turned it on, the CPU fan spins very little then stops, no GPU fan spinning, The motherboard appears to have no lights appearing either. I can't even get into the bios because theres no display.
-----------------------------------------------
As of last night, I got a new mboard and put it in, it still didnt start, so I put an old 300w psu in to test it (took out my gpu since I need more power for it, 300w isnt enough) and it turned on, didnt have my monitor handy to check for a display. Fans started and the system stayed on, so it seemed my psu kiled my board, getting new 750w psu tomorrow so my question is:
Could my psu have damaged my cpu so it wont boot my system? or would it have just killed the cpu rather than damage it?
