Troubleshooting rig... won't POST now.

Rig is in the sig....

Can't complain since this rig has run basically 24/7/365 for the past five years- less a month at most while moving and during vacations.

Anyways, it's on a Cyberpower battery back-up for those moments when I may have a power interruption here in FL during a good thunderstorm.

Problem is this- screen just went black as I was surfing yesterday. No clicks, pops, bangs. I notice the all the lights are slightly flickering. I performed a full reboot and just get a black screen... no mobo beeps, no attempt to POST.

So... I'm leaning towards the CPU, but wondering if the PSU is an issue with the flickering of the lights?? Mobo- no beep codes which tells me CPU, PSU or mobo. Different RAM didn't matter

I don't want to waste a ton of $$ troubleshooting a 5yo rig. It's due for a new D5 pump and tubing anyways, so now is a good time to take her down.

CPU, PSU or mobo??
 
It was the PSU. Called OCZ and they said thats what it sounded like. Got me a PSU locally to get back running.... Corsair GS800 watt PSU.

Holding steady so far.
