    possibly fried CPU or MB?

    Okay, gettiing 0V on every pin. Shorting GRN to ground does nothing. I have every power sink disconnected (except fans). So, Do PSUs generally have warranties to cover all uses? I really don't think the power supply would die like that. Isn't this uncommon? thanks, jeremy

    possibly fried CPU or MB?
