My last mobo sparked out and i think it took my cpu with it. The fans run but nothing displays on the screen.
A couple mosfets blew on the msi 970ga 46 so i replaced it with a gigabyte 970a ud3p rev 2.1. I'm Using an amd fx 8350 be.
please rephrase the question
You should have got a new PSU along with the new board as sparking means both got busted , I can't really recommend at this point you switch the PSU since you have already lost enough money swapping a CPU then a board , but if you still got money to spare then do get yourself a proper PSU .
It is a good psu. An EVGA with the golden logo which I'm told means it's advertising actual power at 1000watts. It has all the safety features to preserve itself in case of potential failure.
well there is no such thing as an immortal PSU , and when it bust it does exactly that , with some lines functioning and powering parts of the board , and some don't . any ways if you want honesty this is where you take the thing to the shop . they need to visual examine things mind you test what hardware have failed , this requires resources i doubt you have .
The new 8350 is in, the old one is out, and here I am. 15 mins booted up and so far so good!
Update - I'm a little concerned about the temps. On the MSI board with the H150i Pro I could keep the 9370 down to 20c average and 15c on idle.
Gigabyte board with the same cooler and the 8350 it runs a bit warmer... 44c
Any Ideas?

It was voltage.
