My cousins computer psu had a spike in voltage on his computer about 2 weeks ago. I asked him to get a XFX 750w psu(there was a $20 rebate). After installation finished, still same situation. Motherboard was also switch out with his old one. Both did not let out a beep. No visuals from graphic card( i will test with a old 9800gt card that my friend left around). Can not tell because i don't know if i have a valid board to use. Everything else seem to works fine. I'm having problem isolating the problem. I can't have my cousin spend money recklessly either. I told him to change power cords and surge protector strips to eliminate other source of problem. Fans are moving and they are all powered up from the board. Please help me to isolate issue so I know what to do next. Thank you in advance.
