I opened the case and had a look at every cable connector and pushed on them all, no loose ones at all, all very firmly plugged in. Once that has all been checked I plugged the computer into the UPS and hit the power on button and it's still completely dead, no signs of life at all.
If I dig out a really old AGP computer that still works from the spare bedroom and plug it into the UPS successfully that'll prove the UPS is working nicely, And then I can swap the PSU from the PCI-E PC into the AGP PC (providing all the cable specifications haven't changed?) and then plug all of that into the UPS that will then prove that the PSU is still working.
That's some progress right? If I can do all of that then it means the problem HAS to be with one of the remaining pieces, Motherboard, RAM, Processor
Does this sound like a decent plan?
