Hey guys, my pc recently broke..whenever I turned it on the monitor just went into standby and nothing happened, all the fans powered up as did the harddrives. Initally I thought it may have been the motherboard because I didn't get any beeps from the speaker, but today after swapping over the motherboard and getting the same problem I decided it couldn't be that! I've tried all combinations of hardware (the new motherboard has onboard vga and the same problem still occured so it can't be my graphics card). Any ideas? Maybe simply my power supply?

Cheers!
 
if the fans are still powering, i dont think it'l be your hard drive...

checked all your connections? mite be your ram, or something shorting out - a few common causes.
 
could still be ram, I havent got any spare to check it with till my new stuff arrives on monday...but if it was RAM wouldn't the motherboard still boot but give an error or something?
