I may have fried the cpu.
This started a few years ago. My computer seemed kind of unstable, even without overclocking. I bought a new thermaltake pure power 600 to replace my antec 550 psu. It may have helped a little, but still seemed a bit un reliable. I'd get bluescreens sometimes. I experimented with overclocking and overclocked my cpu just a little. from 3.2 to 3.34. prime 95 ran ok. about a month ago, my pc just stopped. I put my old antec back on and it worked. paperlip in the thermaltake shows it not working.
After about a day, my power supply started making weird static noises, when I moved the mouse around. The static like sounds seemed to match when my cpu was under load.
I tried opening up the power supply and left it outside the case while still connected and ran it that way. It was right on the carpet. A spark arced out of the power supply into the carpet and the computer stopped. The antec still works with a paperlip test, but PC wont start.
The light red light near the 24 pin connector comes on as usual but no fans. The cpu light I think used to be green, but now it flashes red for just a second, and goes off. no beeps. I know I probably need a mobo, but do you think my cpu is fried?
