My computer just randomly turned off one day and since then has not turned back on. I thought it may have been a faulty power supply, but it wasn't because none of the others would turn the computer on, except for one which started smoking after about five seconds of being on. I now know it is either the motherboard, or the processor and since I do not have another 939 socket motherboard to test the CPU on I am sending away the motherboard to have it serviced. What I'm really looking for here is assurance that it probably is the motherboard and not the CPU.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte, GA-K8NSNXP-939 and the processor is an AMD FX-53. How would the CPU go bad anyway if it wasn't overclocked or overheating to begin with? What do you think the problem is?
