i just replaced my fried power supply but it STILL won't work?!

[acidvoodoo]

so awhile ago my powersupply seemed to die ,see thread

Text



and i RMA'd it and i just got my new one today. i installed it in and connected everything but it does exactly what it did before, as i mentioned in the previous thread.......

"i notice now that once the power supply is turned on and i press the front button first, the fans slightly "jolt" for a split second [spin a little], and the light on the motherboard comes on and stays on. subsequently pressing the power button again does nothing [not more jolts, it has to be turned off and on again at the back]. "

i'm really out of ideas. i tried resetting the cmos, nothing. i am thinking a brand new power supply couldnt be faulty, could it be the motherboard? but the light on the motherboard still comes on cpu?

if anyone has any ideas of what it could be please let me know, i'm tempted to shop for a new motherboard

-thanks

probably motherboard or video card..

well at least the technology is 2 years old so a replacement will be cheapish

if it was the graphics card it would likely make beeps right? it does not

Do you have a spare motherboard to try your cpu on? It might be the cpu that's the cause. And what are your system specs?
