I woke up this morning and my computer looked turned off except the power light was still on. I turned it off and tried again... The fans spin up for a few seconds and I hear a high pitched "ptew" sound one time and it cuts off. Following that I smelled burning parts. I have taken the board apart and can't see or smell anything wrong. I took out the processor and the fans spin up and will run indefinately but no post. Will a Dragon + post without a processor? I get no beep or anything but the fans will run. When I put in the processor I get the same problem.
How do I tell if it's my processor or motherboard? It just randomly stopped working. All I can figure is that it overheated but I don't think it was THAT hot. Anyway I don't know how to tell if it's my processor or board!!!!?
The chip doesn't look fried or smell... Nothing on the board looks out of place so how do I tell?
If a processor goes does it usually take anything with it?
Thanks for your help! This sucks!
