especially over the CPU.
Why not give us the details of what happens when you hit the power button?
What fans come on, what lights go on do the drives spin? anything at all on the monitor???
Please give us something to work with.
It was working fine one day but.... Anyway is there a way to tell if the cpu or motherboard is bad without another to substitute in it?
