My old PSU blew up after a power outage, while behind a UPS too. It was a loud pop that made me jump off my chair, and I saw a flash through the window in the case, even though the PSU is closed off to the rest of the case. I guess this means the MB has gone with it.
Since I replaced the PSU I see lights turn on on the motherboard, but nothing happens when the power button is pressed. I have a high-end(for 2014) GPU and CPU, and I'd like to determine if the PSU took any two of them with it. Is there a way to determine if any of them work without having to put them in another system? I don't have another LGA1150 MB available, new ones are expensive and I've always been opposed to buying used motherboards, but I may have to swallow my pride on this one.
I just don't want to spend another ~$200 on this only to find out there's something else wrong. Any suggestions? Any knowledge you wanna share from your own experiences with blown PSUs would be greatly appreciated.
