Has my Motherboard blown up?

[Letum]

Well, a hour or two ago my PC turned it's self off.
Upon turning it on again the fans started, but there was not beep from
the MB and no output to the moniter.
The GPU has it's 'VDDC_FAULT' / insufficant voltage light on, but a quick
test of the PSU shows that all voltage rails are producing correct
voltages.

A CMOS wipe, RAM removal, GPU and HDD removal and even CPU removal
produce no beeps from the MB.

Am I right in thinking my MB has blown?
What could have caused this?

Letum,

Remove all the add in boards and the drives from the MB. Basically you want just the board, the cpu and power hooked up. Start it then. If you get no POST beep at that point, yes its the MB.

It sounds like it is already, but I have seen other boards die and while still connected cause the mb to not be able to post.

I'm watching with interest Letum but CaptainHaplo has the best diagnosed answer!

curious indeed, with psu still pumping norm, with no post beeps at all def sounds like mobo, did u check all wiring attached, and all connectors clear of dust, all leds light up ,check the pci e rail carefully, pins on graphics card? even with the psu still on norm reg output if situated on bottom of case is there a sufficent gap floor to base for air intake no carpet pile blockage? but if no post probly pointless checking graphics side, iamm 99per cent something has fryed on mobo if ALL correct wires and psu cables are seated correctly. sorry keep us up to speed could be a vital lesson learned here.

Might sound crazy i had similar problem to yours and after switching video cards swapping ram around and adding an older cpu i still had the problem I then went out and brought a new mobo battery. Fixed. I spent like 2 days crying over my precious gaming rig and the problem was a dead battery!

So before you give up and chuck mobo away buy a new battery ($11-15). Good luck
