Hey guys. My gaming setup just recently died out of nowhere. It might've been due to overclocking because sometimes I would use the motherboard's (ASUS Z97-A USB 3.1) EZ overclocking thing and it would oc the cpu's (G3258) BLCK to 102MHz but I'm not too sure. I would turn on the pc and the cpu_led would flash once then the DRAM_LED would flash but stay on for a longer time. I then refitted the cpu but I noticed that a few of whatever's under there looked burnt out (see picture). I then turned on the pc and now I only get a solid red CPU_LED and nothing else. I tried a different PSU (max 450W (old PSU max 480W)) but same results. along with that mobo and cpu, I have a gigabyte gtx 660 and 10gb of RAM (2x4gb + 2x1gb).
Here is what the socket looks like:

To me, the top left, bottom left, and bottom right ones look damaged. I have a few other motherboards laying around and I saw the same, if not similar, components on them. I could take pics so you guys can tell me if replacing them would fix it.
I had the CPU multiplier set to 44 for all cores, BLACK set to 100MHz, and voltage was automatically but I did see it reach upwards of 1.3v. temps never surpasses 75°C during full load
Also ill be able to test if my cpu is still functional Sunday because my friend will let me use his mobo to test it. He has an h87- something but i know he has a g3258 as as well.
