Re: Motherboard Dead?

The edges I was talking about was the area the screw holes were at, when screwed in the edge touches the case tray, and I believe some of the soldered parts. I just did the bench test and same thing, says the RAM, but the RAM was working fine before the processor had fried itself, I'm leaning towards the motherboard being the problem, because I have two sticks of RAM and it says that for both of them.

EDIT: Those capacitors near the upper right of the motherboard (After all the RAM slots) get extremely hot quickly, they could actually burn me if instinct and pain didn't cause me to remove my fingers.
