Computer will not boot

[Scugog]

My friend said his pc would not boot and i assumed it was his psu. I brought it home pulled out the old psu....Put in one that i know works and nothing...no lights or anything....is it possible the board has died...what other things should i consider

So when you say it won't boot you mean it doesn't respond to the power button at all correct? This could be caused be a problem with the motherboard but you can try disconnecting things like the GPU, RAM, HDD's/SSD's, CPU 8-pin, see if it at least turns over. If not it may very well be the motherboard.

 

From here you can try reoving the CPU completely, all RAM, pull the GPU, all perhiphrials, see if the bare board turns over.

 

You can also try this but pull the board from the computer.

 

If all of this doesn't result in any sign of life. R.I.P. motherboard.

If it was the gpu or ram wouldn't it still try to boot?

Yes.

If you are 100% sure all connections are correct, and have tried 2 PSUs, it's probably the motherboard.
