So I have an old system lying around. Specs
Intel e5400
Asus p5kpl-am se
2gb ddr2
600w psu
So the fans spin up for half a second then it turns off, no display. I swapped out the Psu with a spare that I guarantee is working but still shows the same symptoms. So the Psu and ram isn't the problem since the ram was working when I tested it. So I'm torn between the cpu and motherboard being faulty. Motherboard light turns on and I replaced the thermal past from the cpu, Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets. Should I buy a replacement motherboard?
