Question on failed motherboard?

[djdrew201]

I have an ASUS M2N32SLi-Deluxe motherboard. I just swapped to a newer 600W power supply and it has run for about three weeks just fine, with ASUS Probe showing decent voltages.

This morning, for no reason, the computer shut down. I restarted but had no video out. I got to tinkering around inside and noticed neither of the SLi video cards are working, as the fans themselves aren't turning on the cards.

Is it possible I have a bad power supply, or is it rather a bad board finally after all these years? What would be your guess? I am prone to try to replace the power supply, but my "bad luck" notion tells me its the motherboard.

Anyone got an educated guess on what I should do? Please give me your input ASAP as I am lost as to a solution right now to get it back up and running.

Thanks in advance

If you have a microcenter or similar close by you can try grabbing a cheap PSU and trying it out, then return it *shrug*. I used to work retail so I hate unnecessary returns or taking advantage like that but maybe you want to try that first.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have an extra 400W known-good PSU here already and am thinking I might as well try it. Wondered if it had the "umph" for twin SLi video cards so I guess I will pull one card and try a reboot with the other PSU just to be sure. I am afraid my devoted loyal and faithful old M2N32-SLi ASUS board is gone and looked on Amazon with bitter disappointment at the prices they still want for a replacement board. Been running a decent QuadCore on it with 8G of memory and along with the twin video had lacked for nothing. Just yesterday I bought a good-used $69 120GB VelociRaptor for it to for my main primary and have twin 500GB HDD's for backups and storage and this problem has me sadly frowning. I have another 800W twin 12V rail PSU coming also, but to no avail if the board is bad. I will check it out and let you know.
