Just had our main PC die today.
Symptoms are when turned on PSU fan and all case/CPU/GFX fans run and can hear HDD spin up but no sign of life on mboards (no power LED or Dr Debug display), not POST beep and cannot then use power switch to turn off.
Any ideas what is the most likely culprit - PSU, CPU or mboard. Due to sons' homework deadlines will be a few days before I can take 2nd PC apart and swap components to try to determine the problem!
Only bought mboard in feb (not from OCUK) so if that has failed then should still be in warranty!
(N.b. googling has shown quite a few other people with "fans run but no DrDebug display" problems ... anyone here seen this and if so what was the fix?)
