Hello,
So my PC went through a fire, but fortunately went untouched, but possibly has smoke damage. At first it would only boot to the bios and say "Loading OS" then give an error and tell me to restart. I took the drives out and got them working on a second system though. So essentially we have a desktop that was in a fire, possibly has smoke damage, and sat for a few months thanks to the moving company. So what are some things I should do to ensure to the best of my ability that its in a working condition to use? The PC is only running on integrated graphics since thankfully I packed it separately. I ran Unigine Heaven since that was on my PC and it made it through that, and I checked the quality of my SSDs using a program which said they were fine. So as far as I can tell everything works except for the fans on the front of my case. But how should I test the PSU, CPU, Motherboard, Ram, etc?
The specs if you need them for whatever reason are:
CPU - i5 2500k
MB - GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
Ram - 4GB * 2 Adata 1600mhz DDR3
Drives - Mushkin Chronos 240GB SSD, Western Digital Blue 1TB HDD
PSU - Corsair CX750m
Case - NZXT Tempest 410 Elite (With the case you will see that the fans have some sort of magnetic connection which might have to do with why one doesn't work, and the second only sorta works)
Thanks for reading, and for any help! If you need me to provide any other info let me know.
