bad cpu frieng motherboard

[Gbaby1008]

My motherboard recently fried so i rma'd it for a new one, when i got it all i put in was cpu memory and video card, Started fine gave me and error code, so i restarted and now its back to where it was, the mobo isnt responding at all, i've narrowd it down between the cpu and video card casuing the problem. Could a bad cpu or video card cause the motherboard to frie? My main guess is that the cpu's bad.
Any thoughts?
thx

How do you know it's not the power supply? Or a bad lot of motherboards?

I have had a PSU go bad and do the same thing... It is hard to tell what it could be... My PSU messed up the CPU witch then messed up the motherboard... I had to replace all three to get it fixed... I went though 3 CPU and 2 Motherboard...

Not only that..what about the power socket you are using itself. I'd move the PC. I've seen MB and Monitors fry b/c of socket voltages.

well i tried the psu on a socket 472 board and it wored fine so it leads me to the cpu or video card. But i got my $ on the cpu
