Built a PC in the US, and because of employment, had to travel overseas. PSU was in the 115v switch position when I plugged it into 220v wall outlet. POOF POP ALIKAZAM burnt metal smell.
So....
Replaced psu first (new one is thermaltake psu and tested by shorting with paperclip, its fine), plugged it into old components and pressed power switch on front of PC, nothing. No power whatsoever.
Next I replaced to a new motherboard, tested it outside the case shorted the panel and it is receiving power. woohoo. so plugged all components in, put it in the case and pressed the power switch....
All led lights come on, cpu fan, gpu fan, case fan, usb mouse led lights... all turn on.
however, the three lights on the keyboard (numlock, etc) do not turn on.
the monitor tells me there is no signal and switches off after some time.
So, I have narrowed it down to being either the CPU(amd fx6300), GPU(powercolor r7 250x), RAM(crucial ballistix sport 8gb stick), or HDD ... (im a hardware wiz kid I know). Im leaning, and hoping its the CPU. please advise!!!!!!
PS-the HDD receives power and spins inside, its a caviar black
