Basically a small heatsink with the stick thermal pads didn't stick well enough and fell onto the PWMs while my card (gigabyte 970) was running and shorted. Now the computer will not boot with it in. Is there anything that can be done to resurrect it? There is absolutely no physical damage anywhere that I can SEE. I've read about some people re-soldering a new MOSFET, and I am willing to attempt, but I can't tell which one is fried, or if its another component.
EDIT:VRM chips, not PWM...wtf. Sorry I'm tired, need to goto bed.
