Writing this on my laptop.

My main computer is plugged into a surge protected extension lead.

Consists of an Opteron in a DFI LanParty NF4 SLI motherboard.

Came upstairs to see it turned off, as an attempt to turn it on i have nothing. The PSU (Hiper 550w modular) still has a light on at the back so im guessing the PSU is fine? But the motherboard has no lights on it at all, could the board be blown? If so, i've owned it over a year but not quite 2 years so do i RMA it to DFI instead of OcUK?

Help, thanks, lol

Told it could be the PSU (Hiper Type-R Modular) and that i can test it without a mobo?

How would i turn the PSU on though if it's not conneted to te board as there will be no switch to turn it on?

The only switch is the power one on the back, is that all it needs?

Ok, i just connected a hard drive, put the paper clip in and nothing.

The light is on the power switch, but no life at all.

How would i go about testing it with a Multi Meter?

Found a guide and tested it but no luck, so the PSU is busted, sends it off to hiper.

Need to find another PSU to test my motherboard with.
