Anyone with a zotac 9300!? Need help!

I just installed a new psu in my sg05 and now my pc won't post, at all. All I get is the power light coming on and the cpu and chassis fans spinning! I've swapped psus and I'm getting the same thing!

I'm having to use a sh**ty laptop to post this and am unable to check zotacs site for info on the mainboard, a zotac 9300 wifi. Specifically if there is one of those diodes on the board which light up when power is going to the board. Can anyone tell me if this is the case and if so where it is? Maybe I'm missing it but I can't see anything lighting up.

Any suggestions on what it could be? Is it looking like the mobo? Oh man, I'm desperate..

Katch, I've done as you say, with the added faff of having the board completely outside the case and on a box, and I still getting only the power light on and the fans running.. No sounds/beeps, nothing.

What do you think? Is the board dead? Could it be the cpu?? I'm desperate here.

Hold on to your knickers! I didn't have the ram in... so I tried it with them in and hey presto! It posted!
Ok now I'm really on tenderhooks. It posted with the old psu so I'm going to try plugging the new one in. Fingers crossed. Any thoughts/suggestions anyone?

Huge sigh of relief... got it up and running again!

Thanks for all the help guys. Tbh I'm not really sure what the problem was but literally gutting the machine, reseting the cmos and piecing it together one componant at a time got it on its legs again.

One little niggle I have is if the onboard video is working ok? Basically I'd been using that till the last minute when I then got the video card in. Now however when I plug the monitor into the onboard video it doesn't send a signal to the monitor, tho the pc seems to start fine.. Could this be the fact that the video card is in and the mainboard/win7 is being clever and therefore not triggering the monitor via the onboard video? I've checked the device manager and I'm not seeing any faults so I'm hoping this is the case.

Anyone know anything about this?
