fried motherboard??

[jamn4ex]

Here is the situation. A little bit past my warranty my Hewlett Packard went poof. It has a 6core AMD processor fx-6120. 10GB ddr. A Seagate 2 TB. Hard drive. A Radeon HD7570 graphics card. DVD burner multidisc drive. A 460watt power supply. I was told by Geek squad probably the Mb fried, its a gigabyte 970. my question is if my Mb fried is all that other stuff useless.
Or can I put my fx 6120 processor on an ATX motherboard buy a bigger case and put all this in it.

Did it actually go "poof" as in a power surge or something blew a capacitor or several? Or did they test the Board and found it just wasn't working? If there was a power issue, there's a chance the damage goes beyond just the Board. If the board just died, there's a slim likelihood of the other stuff being junk.

Unless you can see physical damage on other components (burn marks, heat bubbles, damaged pins,etc), you won't know until you swap out stuff. A dead CPU or RAM won't cause damage to a new Board, it just simply won't work.

What tests did they do to determine the Board was junk?

Nothing went poof. He said the WARRANTY went poof.

Clear as day.

Do you think this post is only about his warranty expiring?

Do you even English?

OP, you're really not going to know until you try stuff out. As said, if you don't actually see damage to your components they're probably okay.

When you say poof, what do you mean exactly?
