Hi guys. about 2 weeks ago i upgraded certain components on my current rig with the new E5400, Corsair 550 VX, Gskill 2x2gb DDr2 800 and an HD 4850. The mobo was the same one i had on my rig.
So about a week ago, we had a power outage, which fried my new Corsair 550 VX. I replace the PSU with my old one, and it boots up. nothing is on the screen, and 10 seconds later, it shuts down automatically. i tried doing this numerous times unplugging everything, but still same result. it shuts down after about 10 seconds.
So did my motherboard fry??
The reason i ask is because, all the new parts i bought like the E5400, DDR2 2x2gb, was because i had that old motherboard. If i didn't have that motherboard, i would have just upgraded to a new socket and built a entirely new computer with the i3's or i5's.
what should i do? do you think the mobo is dead? and if it is, should i just get a socket775 mobo, or try to return the new parts that i bought 2 weeks ago to newegg, and build a different system from scratch.
i know i am asking a lot of question,
any help would be really appreciated.
thanks,,
