Hi, I've had loads of trouble recently see here

Basically my motherboard had blown, which I put down to a power surge/my power supply - so I ended up changing my motherboard, power supply, RAM (as mobo only ran DDR2) and I seem to have the same problem before. Although there has been no burning smell as before.

All had been working fine, I shut down my PC as usual, yet when I came to power it up I get nothing, just power to my mouse via USB as I can see the optical light. I have recently ran a HD diagnostic program which said my HDs were fine (as supplied by Seagate, the manufacturer of my HDs).

So my question is could my processor or hard drives have caused my motherboard to fail, my hard drives have recently passed a manufacurers diagnostic test and my processor is running very cool. Or is there something else it could be???

I am totally stumped. Thanks for any ideas.
