Sorry to see your loss OPB! :( Another killer FX gone bye-bye...
Very nice results before she blew :toast:
Must say though, you did indeed do some Xtreme Frying there bro ;) Reminds me of someones sig around here about "Killing our HW with Xtreme Effeciency"...
A closeup of the area around the orange DIMM over to the white silk screen box on the back of the MB would be helpful ;) But... from looking at the pics of the processor and socket, you somehow got an Xtreme overvoltage situation to your CPU... like maybe +5 or +12 got shorted to Vcore, or more likely shorted to one of the I/O voltage rails of the CPU or maybe mem signal lines. Looks like heat damage in two places of the orange DIMM socket in the top pics too. The results are consistent with that type of fault (high ov), causing the die to burn out through the bottom and fry whatever is under it (your socket). I've seen the exact same type of results from both metal top ASICs and standard logic ICs (much thicker plastic on top than bottom) on prototype boards where a significantly higher level rail was shorted to their supply voltage... acts like a blow torch when they go. Major drag :(
