Could I please check a few things?
My Offspring's pc just shutdown.
Well, it didn't shut down. It just stopped working.
There were apparently no previous signs, no hints.
To begin with, when you unplugged, pressed on to clear the power, then switched it back on,
you got a brief moment of a few things: Power button light, gpu fan and light, cpu fan, top fan and rear fan (not side fan). Lasted a fraction of a second.
We did this a few times while trying to work out what started and what didn't. (perhaps we shouldn't).
Then after a few goes, nothing happens whatsoever.
We swapped out the power lead for a known good one.
We have pushed all the cables in (pretty sure all of them.)
No difference.
We are thinking it might be PSU or mobo.
II am initially thinking that probably the easiest thing to test is the PSU.
(I shall be looking that up next)
Is there anything else it could be?
If it is the mobo and I test using my good psu, could the faulty mobo damage the psu?
If it could be something else, could that damaged part damage my pc if i put it in mine to test?
(we have the same cpu socket for example)

Thank you, I would appreciate any thoughts.
