A couple of months ago the 8-pin connection from my PSU to my mobo melted. (top half of connection). I bought a new PSU and after clearing out any debri in the 8-pin slot on the mobo (which looked for all intense and purposes fine) i plugged in the mobo and the computer generally worked fine. However, the temperatures on my CPU started reading pretty high (85celsius while playing video games) , even for one that is high end. The computer would shut off and be a huge pain to restart, even after cooling down to room temp (which is cold). After hitting the windows loading screen it would shut down about 4-5 times until it would finally pass the windows loading screen and properly boot up. Sometimes it worked perfectly for days, then would start increasing temp and shut off. sometimes it was hot right from the start and then shut off soon after. Then all of a sudden it was impossible to turn on.
Bought a new MOBO assuming the original damage was causing voltage issues with the cpu. Now, with the new MOBO, the bastard wont turn on at all. All fans on the system seem to work fine, including PSU. Not sure what the issue is. Im thinking i fried my cpu, but if any1 has any ideas let me know!
