hey, this is related to my other thread, but now y situation has changed the title is inappropriate so i will make this one...
Basically tried my first OC, all was going ok(ish). Updated my system BIOS and tried to put the OC's back, however it wasnt working. Then My PC hung, and crashed. I couldnt restart it.
Whenever i turned the PC on, the lights would turn on and the fans ETC, however no beep or anything would come on screen. Now i have tried to remove all the components, and voila, after i removed the ram i got 3 beeps (to say that ram wasnt seated properly. Then when i put this ram back in, i get no beeps. I notice that when the CPU power plug is in, a red light flashes on, and then stays off, however when the CPU power is unplugged the Red light stays on.
Taking all this into account, is it the CPU or MB thats fried?
Cheers Chris
