lmao :good: read for 2 mins the problem is sorted he needs a new mobo, and yes he has contacted the 2 power pins and it turns on. no post or beeps, he has reseated ram and cpu and tried another psu.

not really. the on/off is just an interrupt switch, so jumping them will cause power on and power off. If its not going off then there is a motherboard issue.

With no video coming from the 560, that is possibly a Power supply issue if you dont have a quality supply with enough watts (450+ iirc).

It is a 90% probability that your motherboard is shot. But then again, it could be bad RAM, a bad PSU, or a burnt out CPU. Reseating the RAM and CPU wont help if they are shot. And as far as the PSU goes, it might not be carrying 12 volts to fire up the whole thing. Do you have a multimeter that you can use? If not, one is less than $20 at walmart or lowes.
 
My 500w psu has powered this system just fine for a month or so, this problem started when I put the thing in a new case
 
ok. I will rule out the PSU for now.

Did you wear a ESD strap when you were assembling it? (assuming you were on a bed or carpet floor).

Have you tried a stick of RAM from a computer that you know works?

If you wore the strap (or were on a wood floor/table), and have tried different RAM, then its safe to say it is the motherboard, PSU, or CPU. Again, a quick test of the PSU with a multimerer will rule that out.
 
CPU's don't die that often on 20 years I have seen about 10 and it worked a day ago, and you would smell it ( burnt electrical ) you get no error beep codes even with RAM out, this mobo SHOT, you could run around in circles for days. I've been fixing PC's for 7 years before this guy was even born!
 
beep codes only work if you have a speaker. And it is stupid to spend cash on a board until you have ruled everything out. Especially before you rule everything else out, as that just means you will still have a part to buy.

another thing. On a HP G61, and I just tried it, no ram results in no beep code, no lights, essentially a no power situation.

I find that hard to believe ( amazing ) and they also have a speaker on board the mainboard N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX all board have beep error code or diagnostic lights.

It does have a speaker on it

then we are back to the other things to try.

Try some RAM from a working computer. That will either rule in or out your RAM.

Get or borrow a multimeter and test the 20/24 pin connector and be sure that you get the right readings on 12/5/3.3 lines.

If all of that passes, then you are down to the motherboard.
 
I've tried all 4 of my RAM sticks, (thats worked yesterday) to no avail. But I have no access to a multimeter as of right now but since everything worked flawlessly yesterday, I'm going to go ahead and call it, its the Mobo
