Motherboard Problem – Dodgy CPU?

by chrishouston . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

Hope someone can help with this question.

Is it possible for a dodgy CPU to fry a motherboard, the reason I ask Is that I swapped a CPU in a test board & it didn?t work, so I put the old one back in, but that didn?t work either & now the board won?t boot at all.

I realise that it might just be coincidental that the board failed at that time & it?s also possible that static caused the fault but it seems like the CPU is most likely responsible.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards

CDH
