Hello,
My HTPC turned off last night. When I went to turn it back on, nothing. I thought it was the power supply, so I unplugged the 24-pin connector to the motherboard and plugged it back in. Still no luck. So, I swapped out the power supply. Still nothing. So, I figure it's either the CPU (Intel E6750 C2D) or the motherboard (Foxconn P35A-S). Anyone else have any ideas or definite answers as to what might be the cause?

Thanks,
Dan

I have the same issue.
My computer turned off by itself while I was afk for an hour. (no lightning or power outage happened).
Motherboard: ASUS M3A

The LED light on the motherboard is on.

When I press the power button on the computer, the fans twitch once like they are trying to start, but nothing happens.

I checked every connection.
I reseated all the hardware (CPU, memory, etc.)

I tried a different power supply and it still did exactly the same thing, so it's not the power supply.

Do you think it is a motherboard issue? Or CPU?

Thanks!

My issue turned out to be the power supply. It worked in a different setup, so I figured it wasn't the problem. I got a new motherboard and CPU and still had the same issue, so I replaced the power supply and everything started right up.
