Hey guys, I've used tom's hardware for a long time to find answers about issues I have had, but this is something that I really haven't found a comprehensive answer to.
So I recently had a massive motherboard failure, my AMD 970 performance's mosfets (top 2 to be exact) completely melted and almost started a fire in my computer. So I asked Asrock to send me a replacement and they obliged. I got my new motherboard and I threw together a prelim build outside the case. You know, the normal schpeel, cpu, memory, heatsink, vga, and tried to boot and it wont post.
This scared me, the motherboard is brand new, so I was wondering if the problem could be because of a damaged cpu or could it be because of psu? What do you guys recommend I do?
Rig Details:
Fx6300
AsRock 970 Performance
Gskill sniper memory 2x8gb
Msi Gtx 960
WD black 1tb
500watt evga motherboard
