Ok, so here's the deal....
I was installing a new HS last night onto my processor, got everything on there good, no problems, etc got everything back in place...
Then when I went to turn on the computer, it wouldn't stay on.. the fans came on for about a second, then it'd shut off... did this about 3 times... and then wouldn't come on at all.. nothing..
WELL I looked and it turns out that I forgot to plug-in the CPU power...
So, I plug it in and then of course nothing will come on... the motherboard green light will come on, but nothing will turn on. no fans, no nothing...
The PSU works still just fine as I plugged it into this computer and it turned this one on just fine...
So am I right in thinking I probably fried my motherboard? or could it be something else?
Everything is connected right, and it all was working 100% before... I even went as to try and make sure I didn't use too much thermal pasts, etc.. all seemed ok though.
Thoughts here?
I am going to order a new motherboard tomorrow probably if that is it, but I want to be sure it's not something else... would hate to spend $$ on a mobo and that not be it..
Thanks in advance!!
