I built this computer about a year ago. I had it working for about 2 weeks before I decided to be real stupid and plug it into the wrong power voltage (i was in korea) and it made a pop sound and basically blew up. I was hoping it was just the psu that had went out so I replaced that and when I powered it up, everything seemed to go fine except nothing was coming up on the monitor. HDD is good because I gotta hold down the power button to turn it off like Windows was popping up or something. So I figured it must be the graphics card, so I replaced that and still nothing on the monitor. And then I decided to go big and replace the mobo, and guess what...still nothing. I'm kinda getting real sick of basically buying a completely new computer so if anyone could help me out, that's be real cool. Here are specs:
