I was using my pc to the max and it turned off on it's own. The alarm sounded so I unplugged the pc. The next day it would not restart so I put a new power supply in it and the pc restarted, but would not reboot. There was an error telling me my cpu was damaged. and must be replaced. I have a feeling that if I replace the cpu. I will just find out that my motherboard will be pooched as well. I never had this problem before, but I'm sure someone out there has and could share there experience with me as to what they had to do to get things fixed up.. thanx Eddie.

My motherboard fried once. You could just look at it and see parts blown. Have you actually looked at it yet?

turn off and unplug the system. remove the CPU providing it is in a zif socket, plug in the comp and see if the power supply clamps. if it does, then your problem is probably in the power supply. also try removing the hard drive, all of the the pci cards to see if this will reveal the problem. other than that not knowing exactly what type or generation of comp you have, it is hard to come up with a solution. email me if you want with all of the parameters of your system.

Well, if I were you, I'd truly consider building a new computer. It may be the best thing for you to do at this point. If you had to push the old box that hard to get it to do what you needed it to, build one that can hang! Possibly a mid to high end dual core processor, coupled with an ASUS mobo. 2-4GB of RAM. A 256Mb-512Mb video card. And of course, plenty of fans to cool things down.
