My girlfriend is having a lot of trouble with her computer. When you switch it on the fans are spinning, but that's all that happens, no beeps and nothing on the screen.

The comp was running on default settings, with nothing overclocked. I've tried disconnecting dvd, hd, ram, graphics card, but it doesn't make any difference. It's only around 9 months old.

One strange thing is that when I connect the plug at the back it goes straight on, whereas normally you need to press the power button at the back.

Any ideas guys? Fried mobo or psu?
 
I ordered a Tagan PSU, which arrived today. I was hoping i could just fit it and the comp would boot up, but no joy.

I've now got the mobo out the case, with only the PSU connected to it. When I plug in the power lead into the PSU and switch on the PSU power switch the cpu fan starts spinning, despite the front power switch not being connected.

After a lot of googling I'm pretty sure that there is a short circuit somewhere, hence why the mobo is out of the case, sitting on cardboard.

So, basically I'm clueless now. Can anyone suggest anything?
