I have an i3 CPU (i3-9100, LGA1151) laying around that I would be willing to send you gratis if that would be of any help, provided it's not your board that blew and it works on the intel chipset.

Thanks. It's an AMD system and it's apparently the motherboard, not the CPU. 😓 So now I am shopping around for a motherboard that is compatible with #QubesOS (network, sound card, etc.).
It's less money than replacing the CPU, so that's good, but more time.
