OK so sunday i was on my desktop when all the sudden it turned off. I went to turn it on and all the sudden i saw from my side panel that there was a flash of light where the PSU connects to the motherboard. From that point i have not been able to turn on the computer.
At this point i took the present motherboard out and put in my old one that i know still works and that one was not able to turn on as well. At this point i am thinking that my PSU is dead. I dont have a spare one to try out at the moment so at this point i would like to know if anyone has experienced something like this happening to them and if it was a dead PSU. Also would my current motherboard be damaged in any way as a result of that light? The old motherboard i tried had my old RAM, GPU and CPU so i hope its not anyone of those that are causing the failure to turn on.
