Hello,
I pluged in my dvd player via a usb cable and my pc shut down without notice. Now it won't boot up at all. It will turn on and all the fans run and I can hear the HDD start to run but no video or beeps. I think maybe the dvd player fried something. I've tried removing the ram, unplugging the usb cable from the mb but nothing works. The mb power led lights up so I'm thinking maybe the cpu is toast but I don't know how to check that and I don't want to buy a new one and find out that's not the problem. Any suggestions? I've also tried switching the hard drives but that did nothing.

EDIT:
I tried a test I read somewhere to see if my cpu was fried or not. I removed the heatsink, turned the power on and touched the cpu to see if it was getting hot. I tired it for 5 seconds first with no heat then I tried it again to see if it would heat up at all. 30 seconds and the cpu was still cold to the touch. Does this mean that my cpu is toast?
Thanks,
Erik
