Hello,

Earlier today, my computer decided to freeze completely, in addition to that: holding the power button down wouldn't shut it off, strangely. after having to cut the power to it ocmpletely, I tried to turn it back on and there was no image on the monitor. After trying another video card it still would not work. the monitor is fine since it works with another computer. The memory is probably fine, since i tried each stick individually.

There is no beep on bootup, and my USB devices do not get power, such as my mouse and keyboard. Could this be a motherboard issue? what do you guys think?

Thanks.
 
Does the fan on the PSU spin? If so, proceed... Make sure you have a system speaker/buzzer plugged in if your board does not have one onboard. Unplug all unnecessary items, leaving only one stick of ram, vidcard, cpu/hsf, mobo, psu, kb, and monitor. If it won't POST, remove the vidcard and listen for error beeps. If none, remove the RAM and listen for error beeps. If none, re-seat your CPU and try again. If none, try another PSU. Report back.
