DFI AD77 INFINITY CROAKED? OR NOT?

[gillie]

I HAVE A AD77 DFI INFINITY BOARD THAT FOR SOME STRANGE REASON BEGAN TO BILLOW SMOKE FROM THE CPU FAN,SMOKED MY ATX POWER SUPPLY.NOW THE BOARD WILL NOT POST,NEW ATX PS,CPU WAS UNSCATHED AND STILL GOOD,FAN REPLACED,THE LED'S ON THE BOARD THAT ARE USED FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ALL STAY LIT A SOLID RED BUT DO NOT FLASH LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DURING BOOT.DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS PATICUILAR BOARD AND WHAT I POSSIBLY COULD HAVE FRIED?

I'm thinking it probably smoked the board. Motherboards are pretty tempermental, and this could have been a kill shot. I'm really not sure though. From what little I know, it could have destroyed crucial parts. Best bet, pull out all the parts, and test them. If you have a spare pc, test them in that.
