So I have a old computer with a AMD A4 or something like that and a MSI a68hm-e33 I either killed the Motherboard or the CPU. Heres what I know. The fans run, My keyboard lights up, accidentally built it on a carpet, and just put a new PSU in it. Did I kill the Motherboard or the CPU?

What happens when you turn it on. Does it give any form of beep code or display anything on the screen? 

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

Everytime I've had an issue when building or tinkering with a system the ram has been to blame, I'd just reseat it as it is simple and is often an issue (I don't know if it's your issue just a suggestion).

Nope.

It would probably be the CPU then.

I know this may be a stupid question, but is the monitor plugged in correctly?

He fixed it, it was the RAM.
