Hi, I am unsure how to diagnose the problem with my computer. I suppose it's best to mention I am relatively new to building computers.
Last month my psu blew with sparks and a bang, received the replacement today and reassembled the rig. When I turned it on nothing happened, no fans spinning, no mobo beeps and no debug LEDs. I have tested the new psu incase it was dead on arrival, but the fans work during a paperclip test.
I presume that when the psu blew it has damaged a component. I would guess the motherboard. No component has visual damage.
So, I am wondering if there is a way to diagnose which component is the problem. Is there a way to diagnose which of the cpu and motherboard is the problem? Assuming it's one or the other.
Anything helps, thanks.
