wife's puter dead?

I may try that.

I will guess that I have a short on the board somewhere. The bottom of the board near the audio it gets warm/real warm when the board is powered but will not turn on... does not look good.

I was able to borrow my cousins computer, it uses a Z87-a and a 4690k. My cpu works in his and his not in mine. Combined with the strange real warm board while off thing and I deemed it dead.

Sounds like you have that one figured out.

Before you throw the MB into the trash bin, did you give the socket pins a good cleaning with 99% alcohol or contact cleaner?

I just went though this with a 1155 board that was stuck in a memory boot loop. I was just about to throw in the towel after trying all of the standard troubleshooting procedures (including multiple reseats, and trying a different CPU on the board) but decided to give the socket pins a good cleaning using 99% alcohol on a soft bristle tooth brush which seems to have done the trick. (I've got a couple of days worth of stress testing done and it's still working like a trooper so I think I'm good).

Thanks for that post - will have to file that one into my potential fixes memory, in case a similar situation ever happens here...... I'd never heard of anyone doing that before! (y)
 
he gave it the good old "tech yes loving" lol it has saved many of my older stuff over the years brake cleaner/WD-40/99% alcohol can work wonders.. glad to hear you found the problem :)

Do they ship by air to get there ... might be why ...

Could ask some local hardware store to order some for you, maybe they can get it delivered in more normal ways.

99% isopropyl alcohol also works great to clean and disinfect stuff.
