Why not try the PSU first? That's easier to check and I think it's more likely at fault.

He's all ready tried a different psu.
It's either the motherboard or cpu
Question for op, were you overclocking before you had this problem?

Doh, he posted while I was typing my first post! I then only looked at posts after mine. What a lamer!
Nevermind, have a cup of tea, you'll feel better

I've got some 12 year old Balvennie here and it's doing the trick.
4737Joker - Let us know how it goes.
Ok, tried the CPU in my mates PC and it worked fine. Tried the RAM and it just beeps for a long time, I think that might just be a compatibility issue though because 2 sticks of RAM are hardly likely to stop working at the same time.
I'm guessing this is gonna be a Motherboard issue but I'll take the RAM and Graphics card to my other friends house and double check. If they both work fine its probably gonna be the motherboard and I'll be looking to purchase a new one I guess!

Yeah I took the motherboard out of the case and reseated it all and got the same problem.
What's the theory behind that then?
