Possible Motherboard Short

[dcool003]

I will preface this by saying that I have had the "Windows not Genuine" thing for several months. I don't really think it caused this but I will include it anyway.

My computer will start out sounding strong, then die off, keeping the power light on and fans spinning. I have encountered this before, when my motherboard on my old comp died after plugging an hd monitor into the integrated graphics card and putting graphics up to highest possible, higher than it could handle, then it burned out.

My motherboard now is not old, only got it back in september, 8 months ago.

My system specs are:

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model

ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2GHz (3.6GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel

SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128B/WW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

EVGA 01G-P3-1466-KR GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) DS SSC 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support

OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular High Performance Power Supply

ASUS Black Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B

Appreciate any help.

Is Windows "not genuine", and what version is it?

It is not genuine, windows 7 ultimate. I was in a rush when I built it so I had gotten a version that I thought was genuine. I'll fix that once I fix this problem.
