I've searched several forums and googled the problem, i can't find a solution.
I built a barebones system a month ago, i got everything working fine. One day, my computer wasn't completely sealed (half of the tower was removed) i tripped and fell onto my computer table, and a huge CRT monitor fell and hit the inside of my computer system.
After the accident, when i turned the computer on, only the green light on the mobo would light ... nothing would start/spin.
After playing with the parts, changing all varibbles, i found that with everything connected (minus the 4-prong cable that goes from power supply to mobo) the heatsink will spin.
This is where i'm at now... i press power, the fan spins, everything looks good... then i try to plug in the 4-prong cable from my PS to my mobo...the second a connection is made, i see sparks, and the heatsink fan stops.
Is it the mobo or the power supply that i need to replace? any ideas?
here's the components (it was a package deal from TD.. i'm not much of a PC builder...)
