Computer won't start!
All of a sudden, my computer won't start. No fans, nothing! Swapped the power supply with a known good power supply, nothing!
I do get the motherboard LED to light up, but nothing else. Any ideas?

did you do anything befor this happened, move computer, bump it open it spill on it did the power go out ...
THe other think you can do is unplug all the hard drives cards... and other cables from the motherboard accept the ram cpu, power and monitor.
THen try to start it
if it dosent start then you probably have a motherboard or cpu problem

Looks like I must have a dead mobo. Nothing hooked up and still no go.

To simpswr...No extra 4 connector for power
To everyone else...Absolutey no activity after switching on (except that the mobo LED comes on).
Looks like the mobo is FRIED!
Agreed?

One way to test is to take all pci cards, and all the memory out and see if it Beeps . . If it does, them most of the motherboard is ok . . just have to figure what is not
What board do you have? . . do you have another powersupply to try?
did you try booting with the minimum?
