Did my motherboard just die?

[Proxy967]

Can anyone tell me how this could have happen?

its a burned out trace, it was handing too much power, something pulling too much power from the board?

 

either that or the trace was exposed (board defect) and it corroded

Full specs please. And yes, it most likely did.

what's on the other side?

Definitely looks like a power issue. I would be cautious using your PSU with any other hardware. What kind of PSU is it? It's very possible that other components are damaged on that board but if it's just the trace you might be able to save it with a bit of solder.

I'm afraid, so I not use this psu anymore?

i'd not use it unless you can test it, but its not necessarily the psu, it could be down to a motherboard defect, or something being plugged into the motherboard that drew too much power (i've heard of people burning out traces by plugging way too many fans into headers for example), can you send the board or power supply back?

I'm working on sending the mobo back, not sure if I should return my psu.

if they'll accept a return i'd return it, better to be safe i guess

What can I do next time to avoid this? Brought everything from my bday weeks back and I don't feel like going through this again before ds3.

unless you plugged something you shouldnt have into your motherboard, it wasnt your fault, it was probably a fault of the motherboard or psu, these things happen i guess, everyone gets bad parts occasionally
