Hello All,
To my dismay and my relief for having a backup PC i'm back on my trusty AOPen AK77 ProA. Leaked capacitors and all!!
I upgraded to a new mobo (A8V) and Athlon 64 3000+ a couple weeks ago. The computer would start automatically when I turned on the power stupply. The power button seemed optional.. That was the first strange thing. So yesterday I had the case open to install a cooling vent in the case and accidentally dropped a thumb screw that touched the bottom of the mobo. The computer started by itself, I turned it off and after that no POST. I tried clearing the CMOS, battery, etc. The mobo speaks and says 'System Failed CPU test' over and over. I can see my mobo being hooped but could the CPU really be fried? *sigh* Any wisdom would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
