CPU dead?

when you say no power to anything, do you mean nothing, no power supply fan, mobo lights, case fans anything?

even if the cpu was dead the rest of your stuff should get power to it.

it sounds wacky. i'd check and make sure that it isn't something dumb like a cable not plugged in, or the power switch to the atx power supply is on, something that you've overlooked.

Hi Paul
I would like to know if you have solved your problem because I have the same. I removed the cpu from my notebook to write down the ID. no. I placed it back, turned on power and... nothing. The power is on but not even the cooler is running now.

Suppose the CPU is dead. What happens in the startup process?

if you don't get power anywhere then your PSU is not firing , this is cos it thinks nothing is connected too it, firstly I would suggest manually shorting the power jumpers on the MB, if this doesn't work take out and replace all of your cards and the power to all IDE devices,
next try the fuses in the PSU and plug and ensure the voltage is correct on the PSU.
if all of this fails then you may well have a dead MB

Good Luck

if at first you don't succeed , destroy all evidence that you ever tried...
