Ok guys got a mates pc here that wont boot, correction it does nothing, i hit the power button and it comes on but the monitor stays in sleep mode. Heres what ive checked so far.
Monitor - works fine with my pc and his pc does the same with my monitor
Graphics card - put a confirmed working card in NOTHING
Ram - Confirmed working ram went in NOTHING
IDE cables- tried with brand new one and also a confirmed workin one NOTHING
PSU - Stuck an old psu in that i checked worked first and guess what NOTHING
Hard drive - removed his and it booted to safe mode in my pc, removed mine and put it his pc NOTHING
Leads me to the suspicion that either the cpu or the mainboard (most likely the mainboard) is done for. Before i replace anything i could do with some opinions or even some more options to try before i replace the mobo and cpu.
