My pc died. No fans, no lights etc.
I did the most obvious checks:
PSU puts out the 5v standby rail.
After disconnecting 24-pin plug from motherboard could start up by shorting green power on lead to black. (Paperclip trick).
Power switch from case does work -- checked with multimeter.
I bought a second hand motherboard of similar type and swapped out, but got same behaviour.
This is an old machine Gigabyte x58a motherboard, but PSU and some other components are newer.
Does someone with more experience, have an idea what are the most likely remaining causes?
