Broken Motherboard?

[BigBoss]

But it is okay!!

That board is about... 2-3 years old. It was originally a spider platform, and then over the years turned into a Frankenstein of different parts upgrading to keep up to to date.

I was due for a new system anyways is what I'm trying to say

I went ahead and purchased that Asus crosshair IV. I'm a huge overclocker, grabbed the new Phenom II x6 at 3.2GHz, with some DDR3 RAM running at 1600

eventually I'll try to find that other motherboard on ebay or something to keep as another gaming machine.


Thank you all for your replies!! I will definitely be more involved in the community

Probably a damaged processor, bad caps or bad MOSFET.

(If a MOSFET, it's likely visibly fried!)

(Bad caps in the PSU can cause failure of a component on the motherboard!)

Do any of the MOSFETs look chalky or have a bubbly spot?
(If any of the 2 things I mentioned just one line above, that would be a fried MOSFET!)
