Hi all,
Got a big problem with said board. This PC has been running fine for the past 6 or so years. According to my cousin, he was playing a game when his screen randomly went black. He turned it off and back on, where the board refused to POST - in fact the GPU fan won't even spin up (we've tried two different GPUs, an MSI R7 250 and a PNY GT220).
When I came to look at it, the PSU smelt rather toasty, so I brought it home. I've swapped the PSU (no name to XFX 550W), tried a different CPU (Core2Quad 2.4 to Pentium Dual Core 1.8), tried different RAM (multiple different sticks to Samsung 1GB), and even reseated the SLI selector - still nothing. All parts I have swapped out are known working.
My PC speaker is currently broken (I need to resolder it). Is there anything else I can do to test it before I go and dig out the soldering iron?
Thanks for your help.
