Hey guys since my mobo got fried recently.. I've been trying to figure out if my video card and CPU were affected or not.. So that way I can either tell a white lie and RMA or order new parts.
Well I went to my friends house who has a socket AM2 MOBO also and I brought my video card and cpu to his place and this is what happened.
I plugged in the video card turned on the power but nothing would appear on montior. If the monitor cable was not plugged in there would be a sign saying check signal cable. And if it was plugged in and turned on the power the screen remained blank and the power light would blink on and off.
As for the CPU.. I have no idea how to test it since i didn't see anything post lol but When i did turn on the computer everything seemed to run properly...well by listening to it. like all the PSU turned on.. fans in case went on.. HDD was rotating... and fan on video card was running.
If you guys know anyway to check or if you know whats going on with what i've been telling you... anything would help. Thanks!
