P5B-Deluxe Is Toast
 
I was in the middle of a bench run with my E6300 and all of a sudden the screen went all blue and I smelled smoke. Checked the board over, and didnt see any physical damage, and didnt see smoke coming from anywhere either. Board lights up, spins fans, but doesnt post. Different ram, cpu and vid card didnt change anything.

Any ideas?

Did you try another psu? That and the pwm on the board are the only things I can thing of smoking like that...

:ohcrap:

Check for any bulging or blown caps (though it might be hard to tell if it has solid ones - can't remember if they're all solid on that board).

PSU works fine with the other boards I have.
I was thinking PWMs as well. When I was just a little over stock, with stock volts to the board, whatever Aux temp is in hwmonitor was 125C. I touched the PWMs, mosfets, everything I could think of, and nothing was hot to the touch. It was all actually cold.

None are solid. None looked blown that I could see.
