Well... here is what is going on and tested so far...

Seems the other day , he ran into the problem that his machine did not power on with the switch , and now only via the PSU switch. This will quickly power up the board and the devices ... but will not POST at all. No beeps , no nothing. Just fans running. Also New PSU has been gone through a 350watt and a 500watt PSU. Both New. Currently on a 350watt new antec.

So the PSU has been swapped with no luck there. Stripped down to just cpu/hsf/ 1 stick mem to see if it will at least post/beep .. nothing. CMOS reset ... nothing. I looked on the board and did not see any burnmarks or anything on caps/chips. I am starting to think the mobo is gone. Board's little led light is green when the psu is switched on.

Specs of it are asus a7n8x board , i believe 2500+ chipset , corsair xms ram (256 each / pair) 9500 card.

Any ideas???
 
the boarded isnt grounding by chance on anything is it? usually if it is grounded it wont even startup anything but you never know...if you have to try...take out everything and just put it back and sometimes it just starts working for the heck of it.
