My pc recently died and after that i noticed that my PSU wiring was strange, wire colors didn't match the pins on the motherboard (i checked what color wire needed to be for specific pin). So my question is, can bad wiring kill my motherboard and even cpu ?

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

its highly unlikely if the computer was being powered up then everything should be connected fine. A power supply may fail overtime and maybe kill some PC components with it if its not a very good quality. may i ask? what brand what the power supply?
