How can I test a motherboard to see if it's not dead. I mean without actually hooking it into my system?? And If it's ok, how do I know if I can install said board into my system ?
well you'd need to drop a processor and ram in it and put it in a case with a power supply and just turn it on and see if you get a post screen. easy if you have an extra case lying around. what socket is the processor?
