So I've been a long time follower of this website, but I have never had any need to post a question until now. Just for a little bit more information I am currently running this set up:

1 x ASUS M4N75TD AM3 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
1 x SPARKLE SXX460768D5NM GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
1 x AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT55TFBGRBOX
1 x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3320418AS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
PSU-Corsair - Gaming Series 600-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply Model: GS600 | SKU: 1073679

Now that I've got that out of the way I was sitting at my computer last night and i began to smell a burning smell i leaned over and noticed it was my computer so I powered it off immediately. The strange thing was that the computer was still running even after I could smell the burning smell. I quickly found out where the problem was and I have attached a picture.

having done no research I jump in my car and run to Frys I ask the person for an Asus Mobo with a 890GX chipset and he recommends me the
M4A89GTD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631)

I rush home strip out all of the components from my old burned up mobo and drop them into my new mobo. I get everything installed and get upstairs and I can not get the video to display anything. I tried quite a few different things with no avail. The strange part to me is that I dont believe that any of the other components are dead only because the PC was still running as the mobo was burning.
