So my PSU died (antec truepower 430), i wrote a detailed post about it.

I bought a new powersupply but the mobo still wont start up, just starts the computer for about 1/5 a second then shuts off. Doesnt start the hard disks, just the fans.

I just tried unplugging the CPU but leaving the CPU fan pluged in. The result: the mobo started up and the CPU fan got turned on.

Does this mean the CPU is ruined and maybe the motherboard is fine?
