Compy fried last night?

Hey guys, I hoping somebody can point me in the right direction before I spend a good some of money trying to chase down a problem on my computer.

While suffering through frequent game freezes on FO3 I've had to reboot my computer occass- err frequently when the game would hang up while zoning (primarily). In any event, this last go around I had to cold boot the computer and much to my chagrin, the computer made it to the bios screen (I can reach the menu and adjust all the MB settings) but after that the screen goes black.

I opened the case abd checked things out and it seems the only part that physically looked bad was my PPU card - the fan and motor had come off the board, stalled and burned up (but the card itself looks okay). Other than that, I'm wondering if the graphics card has crapped out or possibly the main processor and possibly the hard drive?

I dont hear any error sounds from the MB and while in the settings menu all the voltage looks good and the CPU registers as there as well as the HD (although I dont hear the drive itself functioning).

I've yet to plug my speakers back in to see if the windows sound comes on since I've got the case pulled away from my desk to check things out inside (and as a round about test for my graphics card).


Right now I'm just looking to get the computer up and limping along till I can build a new rig in october, but in any event any advice will be well appreciated.

So to be clear, currently your computer can't even boot to Windows?

Since you didn't state this, did you try pulling out your physics card to see if your machine boots properly then? If you didn't, well you know what to try next.

If you already tried that with no improvement then post your CohHelper report (link in my sig) so we can see what kind of motherboard/system you are working with.

Yep , that'd be`it. I pulled the PhysX card and tried to boot to windows and nothing?
