Thanks, but I live in Atlanta.
It isn’t overclocked, but as near as I can tell, the BIOS isn’t even coming up. I haven’t pulled the case, I will tonight. It may well be dusty. I did have a breaker trip over night, might have had a surge or something. Any way to tell if I fried the mobo/proc other than swaping to a good one and seeing if it fixes it?
I have a quality PS now, it’s not from cheaping out

No prob, they are like 5 bucks, its nice to have one.
Bad proc, pull the heatsink clear off the thermal paste and check for any type of burns or dark spots on the bad where it might have cooked. As for the mobo visual bulged caps are an easy spot (as posted above).
