    Hey, I don't know whats going on, some help would be great!
    The other day my computer I build 2 years ago died randomly. It bluescreened witch it never does and then 10 minutes later it just turned off, no lights on motherboard nothing happening, very dead.
    First thing i did was test the PSU in another computer it fired up fine, I assumed it was the motherboard got a new one yesterday, no power or lights on it same thing, the only thing I think it could be now is the CPU, would a bad CPU cause the computer not to boot/not show any sign of power, or am I just so unlucky the brand new motherboard is faulty?
    Cheers

    First of all what's the make of mainboard you have ? Also did you overclock your cpu ? I would say try to clear the CMOS on your 2 year old mainboard and see does that help .

    Give it a bash also You should try to boot the board with as much of your components disconnected aswell . So try to boot up with just the GPU and use one stick of ram at time . If you can get to your bios you can trial and error if any of your other hardware is causing your pc not to boot .
