So I fixed up my old lightning killed i7 960 so my friend can use it. Bought a new mb and a second hand gpu of carbonite. Was working 100% till he went for a smoke only to come back to a dead pc. I went over tested it whit a spare psu and all the fans case/cpu/gpu starts spining and all the mb lights are on but screen, keyboard and mouse are dead. Now is this cpu or mb ? (the psu that went got struck by lightning and had 1 dead rail so maybe was not the best option but the place fixing the pc did not tell me its a risk using said psu)

edit: re-read and saw I was being a moron.
I am having similar issues with my current rig, would like to know the answer to this. (PS: I have narrowed it down to either bad ram or under powered.)

What graphics card PSU(s) did you use?
It is highly likely that it is the CPU.
It is highly likely that it is the CPU.
Just tested the the 3 x 2gig RAM and all work fine .
My friend will test the Msi GTX 550 ti in his PC tomorrow.
Tested it whit a Coolermaster GX750Watt
and then Installed a Gigabyte 800 Watt PSU.
everything points to the MB
