The Cohhilition

I had my pc on this morning and all was working fine, i played a couple games on it and then turned it off to go to work.

I return home from work and try to turn on my pc for it to run the fans for a split second and then nothing, no sounds and no boot.

I have changed psu's to one i had in there before which i knew worked, and then i plugged the cpu fan and motherboard into it and the same thing happens.

I think either the motherboard or cpu has failed would i be right in thinking that

I have just tested my psu in another functioning computer and it powers that on fine, so its not a psu problem so it must be the cpu or motherboard gone coz i only had them 2 plugged in and it done the same thing

Thanks

im pretty sure it ist the motherboard, a guy i helped got his brand new pc we tried everything then we rmad the motherboard and everything started working once he got the new motherboard

just out of curiosity what modell is the mb

its and old abit kn9 ultra so yeah its rather old lol im happy its served me this long lol

Just an idea, have you checked the fuse in the plug.

Sometimes people can forget the check the plug/powercable. (Guilty party here)

Create a makeshift test bench(this works for new pc builds aswell:

1.) I typically use my mother board box for this.(static free work enviroment)

2.) Remove the GPU, Motherboard, HDD, Sound Card etc.

3.) Install and boot your, "pc" on your makeshift test bench - a part at a time.

At my job - I work with servers pretty much all day - being able to isolate the malfunctioning or non-functioning component helps. Keep us up to date - I love fixing old computers!
