Is my pc broken?

Hardware Hub Build a PC

Hello,

The other day i was doing some gaming playing Battle Field 4 when my power supply sparked. I very quickly was able to turn off the machine before a fire could arise. The PSU wasn't of highest quality it was an EAGLE psu 600 watts it wasn't 80 plus certified. So i went out today and purchased a corsair psu which was enough watts and 80 plus bronze. I plug up all the parts and it turns out if i have my cpu power connecter connected my computer wont turn on. If i dont have it in all parts go on fans spin hard dives move but i cant use it since there is no cpu. Is my cpu broken or is it my motherboard?

 

Thanks any feedback is appreciated

Sounds like you lost the motherboard at least. You have learned a valuable lesson. Do not cheap out on the psu. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way.

On the bright side. Computer upgrade!

Also when you are remember to give everything a good dusting.

It's really hard to fry a CPU,so you probably just lost the motherboard....luckily...Eastexas is right, it's sad that you had to learn this way, but at least you learned. Don't EVER cheap out on the power supply...

I know it's been said but i will reiterate never cheap out on the PSU one of the most crucial part's of the build. you might just need to go get a new motherboard.
