Pc wont boot.. worked fine 2 days ago

Or save your money and just RMA the CPU?

If the new CPU works, it's not the mobo.
If the new CPU doesn't work then it's probably the mobo.

All the disassembly and rebuilding just increases the chances you may inadvertently damage another component. Yes the chances are extremely low, but it's not zero.

Good idea.. will get a new CPU and take it from there.
 
where is the harm? honestly the most obvious choice makes millions out of the UK ever year, I know that i've given them at least 1k over the last year, and yes, I bid buy a motherboard off them just to check if my board was faulty, it was, and it was from them, so it's their fault that I had to PAY them twice, I'm practically positive that asus, will have compensated them for the broken one!,
lol.

If you do this (I think we all know which specific retailer we are talking about), make sure its a product sold by the retailer themselves, not via their marketplace. **** over the right people.

if the item works then nobody is being ***** over, you are literally, and lawfully allowed to test an item, then return it ,the seller can resell it as they wish, so there is no harm involved at all.

For a small seller there is a loss from it, but large sellers either just absorb the cost, or re-shelf the item and sell it as new. I suspect that's the main reason most manufacturers stopped sealing their motherboard and graphics card boxes.
