Alright, so here's what happened. I was moving my built PC to another house, and it worked before the move. (As in, it turned on.) And on the motherboard and GPU even when the computer is off (and if the PSU is functioning), there are LED's that will always stay on. When I finished moving, I plugged it in, and nothing. I've tested it with a multimeter, and its saying that the PSU is dead. But, I just want to be sure. Keep in mind that NONE of the LED's turn on when I plug in the psu. Is this a motherboard issue? PSU? Thanks!

Not to try and make anybody feel like a simpleton, because I've done this myself before in the past, but did you check to make sure that the switch on the back of the PSU is in the I position and not the 0 position?

Have you tried plugging anything else in to the wall socket to verify that it actually has power?

If you are using a power strip, try another one, or eliminate it altogether and plug directly into the wall.

I'm not sure how you tested the power supply, but since you have a multimeter, once you verify that there IS in fact power going to the unit, this is how it should actually be tested at least initially.

To see if it turns on:
