The other day my brother's pc died. Well it would not power on. The fans would spin for a little and then turn off. You would hear the power supply noise fluctuating on and off before it turns off which leads me to believe that the power supply is dead. I don't see the green light on the mobo turning on. Could that mean the motherboard is dead too? Or is that because my power supply is most likely dead?

My motherboard does not use the 4 pin molex conecter it just uses the 24 pin connector. The motherboard model is "ASRock K7VT6 RAID Socket A (Socket 462) VIA KT600 ATX AMD"
Does anyone have any incite on what happened? Is it really the PSU?
 
I am a Geek Squad agent but what I am going to suggest will not cost you anything, it is just an easy way to find the problem.

At the Geek Squad we always do a 10-15 minute assesment of a PC before we recommend services, so I say take advantage of it.

Take your PC into your local Besy Buy, tell them the problem and ask them to test your power supply and if it is bad ask them to hook up their test PSU to your motherboard to see if your motherboard is still good.

They may recommend you some services once they take a look at your stuff but you of course can refuse if you like.
No pressure man!

it doesn't have to be PSU - investigate mobo for blown caps..
