Thanks for all the feedback. I'll stop by Fry's on the way home and test the old chip out on a new motherboard to see if it was the motherboard and not the chip that got fried. A new chip is already on it's way from Newegg.

I've been reading more and apparently it's really hard to fry one of these chips, as the chip is supposed to shut itself off if it gets too hot. Either that didn't happen, it did happen and the chip still got fried, or the motherboard went bad.

As I said, thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated.
