So i was stress testing my recently overclocked graphics cards and about 10 minuets in the stress test my computer shuts down and now it won't post and the fans are not spinning. i tested my psu and it still works and i tried different ram combinations.  did my MoBo die?

Try removing the GPU and removing and reseating the CMOS battery and then booting off integrated graphics.

Does the PSU ACTUALLY work though? Connect a car headlight or similar to each voltage rail to put a decent load on it.

I don't have a car headlight but i do have a molex fan hub and it was able to power all my fans.

May have just been a component not set right or something conductive causing a circuit to short out. Atleast everythings working now.
