Hi, I've had my pc for about 4 years or so and yesterday it kind of died while I was playing a game. At first I thought my power went out, because it did the same thing on my monitor when that did happen, but when I looked around it wasn't my power going out at all. I opened up the case to check out the inside and felt my hand over my PSU and it was REALLY hot, looked around at my motherboard and the green light was off as well. I tried turning it on after re plugging everything and got nothing. After that I tested my PSU with the paperclip trick and nothing happened, so i'm assuming this is the problem. I already ordered a new one but i'm worried that my motherboard went with it, is there any way I can test to see if it still works? Also any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!
