This morning my second computer started playing up, it seemd to have no power, even the fans could only run at very slow speeds.

I thought the PSU was faulty so I put a spare Thermaltake 750 watt PSU in. Now when I turn the power, the lights and fans seem to pulse and nothing else happens.

I have tried it without any cards or accessories with no luck also checked the memory

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Take a look at the motherboard and see if any of the capacitors are blown. They will look either popped up a bit or be oozing if they are indeed blown. If this is the case, your motherboard is fried.

I can't see any blown, also I have disconnected every plug / cord / card from the mobo now and no difference. This includes the cords that go to the reset button and all those.

I'm guessing the motherboard has died?
