So my computer died (6yo rip) and I sent it in for some quick diagnostics and the IT guy said that my motherboard is fried and both my cpu and gpu are potentially dead. I can’t check if my CPU is alive or not as I don’t have another mobo.

so the question is: should I just assume that the cpu is dead and upgrade the entire thing or by a replacement for my old mobo?

A check up in the cpu will take another week and will almost cost me as much as the price of my old motherboard.

I’m not sure of what to do as buying a new cpu mobo ram will cost a lot and I can’t really afford it, but buying a replacement for my old cpu might also be a waste of money...

Perhaps I could buy a new motherboard that could potentially fit my old cpu if it works and if it doesn’t I could replace the old cpu with a new one? Would these even be compatible considering my cpu is a 6 year old cpu?

I tried to do a beep test on my mobo to figure out if it could tell me anything but no sounds at all, all the fans are running though but no signal. Before the pc died completely I slowly lost the ability to use any form of WiFi and the last blue screens I got mentioned some memory error

Specs: mobo gigabyte b75ma-p45 (1151 socket)

Cpu is an intel quadcore (3.8ghz) but I can’t remember the exact model 6-7yo

Gpu is unknown as it doesn’t say on hardware

Tl;dr

Pc broke but not sure what components, is it worth while(and money) to figure it out or fuck it and buy new components?
