yeah, i'm going to start with swapping out the mobo tomorrow and go from there. it's possible that it's the power supply but it seems to be pulling power fine, i've plugged in a few things to the mobo and seen them "work" (power lights toggle on).

sadly, i don't have enough equipment laying around here - to really be able to test it properly so if swapping the mobo and/or the RAM does'nt work i might just bring it to the shop around the corner and waste money on them looking at it.

So we'll see what happens now, I got in a new mobo and tried that - didn't fix the problem. So no i'm onto the ram. Instead of exchanging the ram, i decided to get stoopid and order some 8gb (2x4) sticks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820231548

We'll see how this goes!

If you don't have a PSU tester yet, they can be had very cheaply, like $15-20 cheaply.

Or... shake your PSU and see if a big ass capacitor that was never soldered into it falls out like a PSU I recently bought (yes, no shit)... pretty good indicator of a problem!!!!

But, yes, the PSU tester is a great idea! I wish I had one when troubleshooting an issue with a system that wouldn't turn on recently.
