Troubleshooting Motherboard
by: Support

Hello Bob,

When the PSU (Power Supply Unit) is working and putting out the specified voltages and amperage and the PC will not start I would surmise that you have a compontent failure.

Which one? Well you have to some troubleshooting of the different parts.

Have you used these two pages to check the devices/compontes:

Troubleshooting Motherboard problems

Troubleshooting Installed Devices

If you have spare memory/video/processor you could swap each one out one at a time to see if the motherboard will power up.

Hope this helps...
