• Motherboard Fried?
    2 replies, posted
So the other day I was casually playing some garry's mod with a friend, nothing hard on my computer. In the middle of playing my computer turns off, I hear a loud(ish) pop sound come from my PC, I see all the LED's flash, and it starts to smell like burnt circuits. I took all the parts out of the case to investigate the problem. I tested my PSU with a paperclip, and it worked, so I know I didnt blow my PSU. I took my processor out, and I noticed that several pins on the socket were bent. I'm scared to put the processor back in and risk further damage. I feel like the motherboard fried. Any suggestions?

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;26361744]You were the one who bended the pins, not the motherboard.[/QUOTE] That's odd because I was beyond careful with taking my processor out. And the way the pins were bent doesn't really match with the way I took it out. This still doesn't explain what happened in the first place.
