Hello ladies and gents

I have had serious problems with pc lately and I am now pulling my hair out lol. I need some help to find out what is causing the problem? Hopefully someone can help. I will give you guys a brief description on what's going on with my pc:

My computer shut down on it own while I was away from it(not sure how) when I returned there was no power going to it at all (no lights, beebs, no fans spinning etc totally dead). I have tried another psu to see if my psu was faulty (same problem). I have used a psu tester on both of my psu's and they are working fine. The lights on my psu switches off only when the 12v 4pin cpu connection is plugged in. I can plug the 24 pin M/B connector in only and hard drive etc and the lights stay on.
I thought I had a dead motherboard so ordered anther board, I have checked the cpu and it looks fine, no scorch marks etc. I have tried different rams modules to.

I have bought a new motherboard (MSI H61I-E35 V2/W8) and had the same problem, I also bought a new cpu (intel g2130) and guess what the same problem remains with the new board(tried old cpu also). I have spoke to dabs and returned the cpu and motherboard and had a full refund. The motherboard must of been a DOA
I have ordered a new board (MSI B75IA-E33) and guess what, you guessed it: the same problem remains with the old cpu. I now am guessing its the cpu not the motherboard as its a good chance i may have screwed up my new motherboard.

Any help would be much appreciated. Please ignore bad spelling and grammar.

Thanks Matt
