Dead motherboard or fried cpu

[redls1]

Started my computer toady and nothing, well the fans start but no beeps,no video. You can see the light for the hard drives running but nothig else. Any ideas?

Power supply? Try clearing the CMOS? A bad bios flash can cause this too.

Try re-seating the video card.

Was the computer modified in anyway prior to the failure to boot?

 

[redls1]

nope. Was just trying to re install operating system.

i disconnected all the hard drives, cleared cmos,reseated the video card,took out memory and tried different spots. I did smell something like burning but not sure if its the mb or cpu. Hope I didnt kill my 3500+.
