Motherboard fried I think.. :'(

[cloud171]

I swapped another E6600 and put a 7950GX2 on a P5B Deluxe and I ran Othoros to see how the overclock was. I walked away and when I came back the computer restarted and I smelt something burnt. At first I thought it was my CPU I swapped it with two other and nothing, then tried the ram, and two other video cards. I've cleared the CMOS, taken out the battery and everything and nothing, no video but everything else turns on. I've tried both another PCI-E card and a PCI card still nothing. Anything else I should try before getting a new motherboard to test it? Thanks.

Swapped the motherboard with another P5B deluxe and yeah the motherboard is dead, any clue the turn around time for ASUS RMA? Nice thing about this one it doesn't boot up twice. My old board always shuts off and turns back on whenever I restart it or turn it on.

What brand and Wattage of your PSU?

Last I heard, Asus warranty stinks. And ummm... burn marks = physical damage = not covered by warranty?

Coolermaster Extreme Power 600W and as far as I can tell there are no burn marks of such. Do you think the power supply caused the damage?
