My first time sorting hardware issues.

Lo' there.

Recently ran into some issues with what I originally thought was my power supply, unfortunately that was not the case so I bought the same motherboard as I had before and lo and behold my computer still wont start up.

My motherboards LED will light up when it's turned on but the extent of my computer working is the fan on the power supply and processor spin for a mille second and then nothing. I've been testing with every other part removed and I'm left with the last option that it's my processor thats broken.

Any thoughts?

Heres my rig.

Asus M4A79XTD Evo (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition 3.40GHz (Socket AM3) -
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Triple Channel
Sparkle GeForce GTX 275 OC 896MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card

With all that said I've been using this since september with zero trouble.

Hey RJC no idea on how to run externally to the case.

Just a no name 750watt from a small computer store nearby Ricky, called Active power.

I did try a new PSU and Mobo and niether worked, both were store bought too and main names.

I tried running it out of the case and it's a no go.

J.B it was a working rig; me and my ex-step-father built it together, It had turned itself off while I was at work. I normally keep my computer on 24/7 as I have a lot of downloads/uploads typically. I never had it overclocked at the time either. Not for several months infact.

Why would a AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition just stop like that after half a year though.
