While doing some OC testing, I think I fried my mobo. I'm pretty confident that's what I did, but just want to confirm.
-PSU still provides power to mobo - led light on "power" button on mobo lights up.
-Mobo powers on for split second, fans too, then shuts off immediately. There are phase led's on it, and as far as I can tell only 2 of 4 northbridge led's light up before shutting off. All others light up.
-After mobo powers off, it cannot be turned back on unless the psu is unplugged from wall for 30 seconds.
-Tried combinations of RAM in/out and CPU in/out, but zero change. To me, this is pretty definitive that it was the mobo that blew, not the cpu.
-This is the weird part - for me anyway. No burn marks, singes, burst caps, damaged modules, or any other damage on the mobo. CPU looks 100% in tact as well.
-Reset CMOS, no change.
-Took out GPU, tried again, no change.
So, mobo dead?
