Hi, I have the following issue where I cannot power up my PC at all, that is when you press the power button system doesn't boot, no beep, fans does not spin, power led does not light up.

At first I thought problem lies with the PSU so I used a spare PSU to test, problem persist. Hence I thought should be one of the pc components, so I remove each component one by one and test it but to no avail, system just refuse to boot up, no beep, fans does not spin, power led does not light up.

Hence I concluded that it should either be the mainboard or CPU, since it's the only two components left untested. I decided that it should most likely be mainboard failure as a fail CPU is quite unlikely to happen.

Hence I went to RMA my mainboard and received the replacement mainboard a month later.

However to my horror, the system still refuses to boot up! I am really out of my wits now and don't know what to do next as I don't have a spare CPU to test and are not 100% sure if it's due to a faulty CPU...

Could any kind soul please help?

but how likely it's due a failed CPU? Since the system does not beep nor produce any error code I can hardly tell...

If you have tried power up with CPU, RAM and repaired motherboard and it still couldn't boot(like black screen and cpu fan not spinning), then can RMA the cpu. Maybe you should ask your friends to test out your gpu before you RMA the cpu. Just to be sure.
