I moved to the tropics and took my Athlon 1800+ (boxed) system with me. Well, I was sitting in next to the computer when I heard the computer shut off and I could smell that burning smell. The computer has not booted since.
Question: how do I know if the CPU is fried, the motherboard is fried, or both?
I have photos if anyone would care to help me diagnose this mess. Thanks to anyone who can help.
