Is my Motherboard dead?

[xxhorizonbcxx]

So the other day my pc stopped working (it just turned off while I was playing a game) and won't turn back on. The days leading up to this it would turn off when loading into games but would come back on. But now the only thing that happens when I press the power is (sometimes) the fan wiggles a little and a LED below the power button would light up for a second.

With this information I assumed the power supply was the problem so I went and ordered another one but the same problem persists.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some more information on what's wrong before I go and order a new motherboard.

It sounds to me like you are heading in the right direction.

I would have suspected the PSU first, just as you did....although now that you know it's not the PSU...I would focus on the MB.

Thanks for the feedback I'll probably just go ahead and order a new MB. Its really easy to send stuff back so I might as well.
