they would take it dead... they wont be ab;le to tell if it had damage to overclocking or a powersurge.. Just dont tell em what ya did lol.. Just say it went dead on ya.. Dont know what else happend...and I dont know if I quite understand you.. You blew up part of your powersupply? Its either all or nothing... If the light is still on in the mobo the PSU is still good..

well you see...this is where my problem lies.

I took the PC to the shop i got the parts from earlier after posting....and they were great about it and the bloke in charge said they would revamp the whole PC for me. ( Ive been having some trouble woth the graphics card so they were already taking care of that)
Anway, i dont think he saw the severity of the situation and well he only mentioned the motherboard as part of the replacement, didnt mention the CPU.....do you think i have made an error telling them what happened or wont it matter as long as intel dont twig. ed:
The shop is a great shop and i doubt they would worry too much about lying to the manufacturer. Shame though - as this PC was my bash at building my own computer - but since i made it ive had not much but trouble.
Thing is i didnt find it hard at all and well lets face it - there isnt much to go wrong is there? Especially as i am not yet into overclocking and all the parts are compatible. :cry:

What heppened was, i put the USB device in, and hears a poof and a spark, then the pc went off. I then replaced the plug (as the fuse had gone) and tried the pc again using thr same PSU - nothing else different...and it did it again except worse, the second i pressed the switch on the PSU to turn it on it blew up lol. smoking a bit also. Then i brought a new PSU from the shop of the same specifuication and all it powers is the light on the mobo - nothing else, not even fans, LED's elsewhere. etc...

No they will also know what to say to Intel, as they want there money!!! They know how to handle these things... But if you have a warranty through INtel I would go through them... and let them know it just dies.. thats all you have to say...

then yes you also need a new mobo..

thanks very much for all the advice and help....ive posted my problem several places and have recieved next to no help.

Is there any way of giving respect points like on some forums.

And i look forward to using this forum in the future,
