I have a older pentium 4 rig that is not powering on but there is green lights on the motherboard. specs are as follows
p4 1.7 GHz socket 478
old ass asus mobo with agp
512mb ddr 3200
400 watt psu
dvd rom and cd writer
geforce 4 mx 400
I have tried switching the ram graphics card and psu.
I have another 2.2GHz Celeron that I could use with this but im not sure if the fsb will conflict with the old board.
im am not exactly sure of the mobo's model number, i will post it later on
 
i know when my computer did this it was the power supply, motherboard AND the cpu all burnt up at the same time lol total cost for repair was 200
 
How did you mount the motherboard onto the case? If you didn't use the right type of screws or the right washers. It will short.
 
I say power supply.

Although it IS odd that the mobo has power. Does ANYTHING happen when you push the button on? Any fan movement, sounds, lights?

sounds like a prebuilt to me, so I doubt he mounted the motherboard himself, and it seems to be a recent problem after years of usage, probably not a short...
