Turned on my computer a couple weeks ago, it posted to a plain black screen. No mobo logo or BIOS screen, just plain black. Sat on it for 15 minutes which is when I got worried. Tried resetting, didn't fix it. Was about to melt down as I had all my uni assignments due on Monday. Took off the side panel and unplugged my 360 controller, booted up just fine. Thought nothing of it until it happened again today, where unplugging a bunch of stuff didn't fix it. Here's what I have done:
Checked all connections and miscellaneous things according to sticky post - No change
Reset the CMOS - This caused it not to post at all.
Reseat RAM - No change
Reseat GPU - Now my keyboard and mouse dont light up.
Replace GPU - No change
Having a quick read around forums it seems that a lot of people have this plain black screen post issue with ASUS boards. I'd like to try update the BIOS but I don't have a way of doing that. Considering that now the peripheral lights dont even turn on, Can I confidently assume that my mobo is dead here?
