Hi,

Today is a sad day for me. I think I burned my motherboard and procesor with it. Bought new motherboard but pc still not booting. Psu is fine checked it on other pc. New motherboard. Graphic card seems fine, no smell does not look fried. However my cpu looks like:

Is my procesor dead? I have no means on checking this procesor on other pc.

Hello friend. I watched the video.

You said you smelt the burning smell from your motherboard area near the VRM's. These are the voltage regulation modules, and you fried them because you have your CPU cooler setup the wrong way. You should have facing towards the back of the case and a fan exhaust that air out. This is very important because it blows air over the VRM's. These are very sensitive in AMD setups and they will blow without airflow.

I regret to inform you that when the VRM's fry they usually take the CPU with it. However, the signs of dead CPU are usually an infinite boot loop. You're just not getting any POST (power on self test).

Now, take one stick of RAM. Leave the one closest to the CPU in. Take out power cord, VGA...

From my observation, your CPU looks totally fine, no bent pins. Is everything connected properly? What you mean with it not booting is that it will refuse to turn on at all correct? If possible could you post pictures on the inside of your computer and power connections? If your motherboard were truly fried then you would have seen smoke and smelled a whiff of burning plastic and seen burn marks on the motherboard itself(it has happened to me once for not knowing that I needed to install sant-off screws first but now I learned my lesson). Double-check the front panel connectors are connected properly. I think that may be your problem.

Now, take one stick of RAM. Leave the one closest to the CPU in. Take out power cord, VGA connector, and LAN cable. Turn off Powersupply switch. Press power button to discharge system. Take out motherboard battery, then find the CMOS reset Jumper. it's usually on the right side of Gigabyte motherboards. Once you have found this jumper touch the two pins together with screwdriver to make electrical connection. Hold this for 5 seconds. Now put back in battery and turn on computer. If P.C boots, then turn off and put in other stick of RAM.

If computer does not boot, take apart entire system and try to start computer on table to see if case is causing an electrical short.

If computer does not boot, take off CPU, take out RAM, take out GPU, take out every electrical connection and setup and try again.

If computer does not boot, likely CPU or PSU dead.

I fear it is what Themastererr has said, when I fried my lga 1156 motherboard I tried my i3-550 on another motherboard that I bought later, it refused to boot up. Therefore at that point decided to build a haswell machine which is the one I am typing as of now. Forgive me if I have not been of much help, Themastererr has you covered it seems. I know that sinking feeling of your own build refusing to work.
