Asus P4C800 - 3.0GHZ Intel processor
Not a new build - ran for 5 years fine - gave to my daughter, and they left it running for a year without shutting it down, when they did, it won't boot now. How do I test the motherboard without replacing it?

I've already tried a different Video Card (mobo has no onboard video), two different monitors, and two different cables. Same results. Thanks for verifying I had the right thoughts to begin with ... any other thoughts??
