The 14-pin connector isn't part of the 20 or 24-pin design. Their wiring patterns differ. Placing them side by side could send power to the incorrect rails. An adapter would be necessary to rearrange the pins properly.

Interesting! The pin placements weren’t consistent—like pin 8 on the PSU being positive while the motherboard was grounded. Or maybe the signal was too weak. Looking at other similar adapters without a mesh helped clarify it. The pin order seems intentionally swapped.

I've never encountered such a situation with a short circuit; I assumed the board would either fail completely or remain inactive. Likely, this falls under the responsibility of the motherboard—though the PSU contributed to the problem.

It's quite fascinating. The board is now dead, but my brother has a comparable PC and it had a coin that performed a dozen power cycles. Perhaps this time it was more severe. The "sequence" refers to just restarting. This time, instead of turning it back on, it shut down twice before showing no signs of activity.

Hi, I fried my motherboard and added another 20-pin power supply. It’s a Lenovo model with a 14-pin connector that doesn’t fit. The previous PSU also failed. Can I take the CPU and RAM from it? If they don’t work, could they affect the rest of the system? Thanks for your help!

There's always a slim chance of things going haywire, but it's rarely RAM or CPUs causing it. Test the parts in a mobo you don't care too much about, and see if they work.

Could it possibly break? I don’t own many extra parts, so I’m at a disadvantage. Also, would using the original CPU inside the working PC still function?

Yes. But the odds are minimal. To confirm, check the components for signs of burning and any burnt odors; absence suggests no significant damage. If a part is damaged, it’s most likely the motherboard will trigger an error message.

Looks good! I'll swap them around in about 15 minutes. Thanks!
