So I had an issue with my original M/B. The USB ports on the rear panel stopped working. I had a work around but when I asked on here I was told I should send it back to ASUS because it was still under warranty it was a TUF Z690-Plus WiFi D4. So ASUS came back to let me know there were bent pins on the CPU socket. Long story short I paid the money and they sent me another board. A "new" used board that was DOA. So I decided I'm not going to play their game and just order a new Z790-Plus wifi D4. Got it today put it all back together and turned it on and wait for it... a loud "POP" then nothing. I pulled the PSU out and heard a raddle. I must have dropped a screw into when taking it apart. I had another new PSU so I plugged that in and changed all the wires from the Corsair to the EVGA PSU but still nothing. I assume I fried the motherboard at least I hope that's what it is. I ordered another new Z790-Plus.
So my question is could it be a blown motherboard or could I have fried the CPU because that is a whole road I don't want to go down. Anyone? Any thoughts on which it could be?
