Recently my main desktop (signature) has been playing up:-
All motherboard USB's don't work
CPU fan has stopped spinning
PC Keeps freezing (usually soon after logon)
I tried a format (this is before I realised that the CPU fan wasn't spinning) and it was still playing up. Then I got a trojan and things got worse. The PC will not accept any new internal hardware either and my CD/DVD drives are no longer working!
So I opened up the PC, took the motherboard out and had a look, at first I could not see any obvious damage until I touched the northbridge heatsink, it was wobbly and for some reason a spring was missing that holds it down - I really don't see how this could have happened. Anyway I don't know if thats what caused all this but is the motherboard definately broken, or could it be something else, my guess is its the mobo, thanks for any replies.
