Installation Fried My CPU
I was running windows xp fine.
I attempted to install windows 7 from a CD.
During installation the computer had to reboot which was fine.
When it rebooted my monitor appears to have not turned on.
I could hear the hard drive still working so I didn't think anything was wrong.
Then the computer shut down which concerned me. I noticed a burning smell coming from my CPU.
I gave it a few minutes before attempting to turn on my computer.
I attempted to turn the computer on. It did not turn on. I saw a spark underneath the CPU fan.
Is my CPU now fried? Please help. What do I do?
