Motherboard died. Besides the obvious "GET A NEW ONE LOLL," any ideas?

More specifics please, how are you certain it is the mobo, does it return a beep code when the memory is pulled, are you just not getting power at all? Please specify what is truly going on with the computer.

It doesn't boot. Turning computer on = nothing expect the power button lights up normally. The monitior is stuck at black, with no errors or anything. No keys respond, and the setup disc won't get read.

As for the MB, it's either that or a sound/graphic because everything else works.

Ram, psu, cpu. All viable problems. I'd bet on ram before motherboard. Luckily my mobo has a hex display which tells me what's wrong. I get c9 far too often, which means my ram is bad. I just flip the ram into another slot.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a power supply issue, it's not uncommon for them to only half-way screw up, however, I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a graphics card problem. However, to be sure whether it's the motherboard or not, remove the memory and then boot it up and see if you get a beep code, if you do not, the motherboard is the problem, otherwise it is elsewhere.

lol, what about if he had no speaker in the system? Besides that not everyone connects those, my current case doesn't even have one.
