May have fried computer please help

[Traz]

Hey so umm I may have tried to plug in a power supply cable into the mobo while computer was running and there may have been a spark and now the computer may not show any signs of life. I'm such an idiot.

Well, the motherboard defiantly sounds dead, I don't know about everything else though. Are any lights coming on? Also, why did you plug a connector into the computer while it was running?

[Traz]

@Citadelen No nothing is happening and I'm and idiot. Will my new gpu be ok?

Ah, do you have another PC to test it in? What connector did you plug in?

[Traz]

@Citadelen No unfortunately I don't have another PC to test it on and it was just a little 2 prong on the right side

[Sors]

Which cable and where did you plug it?  Can you take a picture?

Try this and get back to us.

 

Don't touch the paperclip, and make sure it's in the right slot.

@Citadelen I tried that and It worked so is it just my mobo?

Well, at least you have a working PSU. You now need to use your GPU in a different PC, and see if it still works.

                From what all I read I would agree that you have a dead motherboard, your PSU is good, I doubt that you GPU is in any danger, but there is a strong possibility that your CPU could have been damaged. You just won’t know until you isolate the problem with a new motherboard. Depending on your built make sure you get the correct socket type. You can find a casual consumer motherboard on NewEgg anywhere from $50 to $100 depending on what your budget is. If you having trouble finding a new board or just general questions just let us know and we can assist you further. I wish you luck my friend.
