Bad storm rolled through, electricity sparked, computer never turned back on. Checked power supply and tried different one, didn't work. Tried removing some hardware, i.e. hard drives, floppy drives; didn't work. Finally tried checking processor to see if burned up, processor chip was fine, but I have a chip right next to it, that has a heatsink with no fan on top and when I removed the heatsink there was a black ring where the heatsing sat. Does anyone have any idea what chip this is. I don't wan't to have to replace the whole motherboard if I can just replace this chip. It is a chip that looks just like the processor, just a little smaller in area.
Thanks
