Mother board is dead?maybe......... ?

Question

so i replace my cpu fan with a brand new one. When i turned my computer on, i saw sparks where the 4 pin connector connects to the motherboard. I know for sure that my power supply is dead, but not sure if my mobo is. I could just plug in a another power supply but the thing is that i dont have one that supports my mobo ( need aleast 750 watts with a 8 pin connector) So i went ahead and found a spare power supply and plugged in the main connector( THE 24 PIN only) to the mobo and saw a green light on the board... so my question is, is my mobo dead? trying to figure out if i need to buy a new mobo or a power supply

Answer 1

the best way to do is to try ur power supply into other systems??? if yes it would be your mobo that has the prob.

Answer 2

you sould try you power supply first.

because you dont want to buy unessary thing.

if it dosnt work theres only one answer left.

Answer 3

Well I really don't think I would buy a 280 or a 4870x2, some DDR3 ram and an QX9775 on that board!
