Hello, I previously had a problem in another thread where my computer died of overheating in drastic heat temps. I found out that either the CPU or motherboard was completely fried, but I'm not sure which one I will have to replace (hopefully not both), but in this case I'm more leaning towards the motherboard as the entity of the problem due to these symptoms:
1. Offline screen, completely dead monitor (Tried an external monitor, still no good)
2. Not sure if the HD symbol is the little cylinder icon, but only the Battery icon lights up, all other turned off
3. When I turn on the computer, the fan and power work fine, but the computer shuts down all of a sudden, then turns back on, then shuts down.
4. I don't think think if's a bad HDD or GPU because then the BIOS should at least load in this case.
If I could be wrong in my prediction please tell me so because I'm about to replace either the motherboard or CPU. I'm not sure if a fried CPU could still lead to a no-BIOS screen, if the CPU was missing, shouldn't at least the BIOS or monitor still load?
My model is the G75VW -FS71 from Frys and I was going to replace the motherboard with this, it's just it doesn't come with a CPU, so I"ll probably have to use the old CPU, which I hope isn't burned >.<
Just to make sure though, is this the right motherboard? And if so, why's it so cheap?
