Fried CPU?
Okay, approx one month ago, i built my friend a computer. A couple of days ago, he left it in his car in the heat (Shame on him) and it slammed up against his car when he turned a corner. He brought it over to me to if I could fix it. I thought it was the motherboard because I thought the he fried it. He said it was really hot in there.
We went and got a new motherboard. I installed it and it still didn't turn on. Okay, so it wasnt the motherboard. I was then starting to think it was the case (PSU worked. Tested it in mine) Turns out, after all that, it was a faulty power cord. Yeah, I feel stupid :\
Now my problem is, when I removed the fan and heatsink the first time, the CPU was stuck to the thermal paste stuff on the bottom of the heatsink. (It was on there good) I was able to get it off, but I think its history. I tried it in both motherboards and I'm not getting any video. Do you think the CPU is fried?
Thanks :)
