CPU or Mobotherboard blown?

AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 630 2.80GHz (Socket AM3)
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 MA770 (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard

Turned my system on this morning and would not boot. The fans in the psu, on the cpu and the agp spin up, but there are no BIOS beeps and the AGP keeps spinning at full speed.

Taken everything out of the case and reseated, tried the psu on another machine and works fine.

Left the machine running for 5 mins without the cooler on the cpu and it remained stone cold.

I don't have any means to test the mobo or cpu.

OCUK, over to you

Sounds like your motherboard mate..

Doesn't sound like theres a lot you can do..

It's very unlikely for a CPU to fail.

No beeps on startup seems to indicate a mobo failure. If mobo was fine and CPU had died you should at least get a beep code.

UPDATE

Finally got a new motherboard from the manufacturer via OCUK, still has the same problem.

I've bought a gpu from the mm to see if that makes any difference before contacting OCUK again

Any suggestions?

What PSU do you have? What are the specs of the other PC you tested PSU in?

I had a spare psu that I tried, same symptoms.
