Is my motherboard dead.

I have an EMachines T3104 ps I got as a X-mas gift back in december. Has worked fine until ab hour ago. I turn on the pc, the hard drive light remains on and I get no sort of signal out of either the monitor, mouse, or keyboard.

I went through all the steps with the Emachines Tech.

Do you guys have some other ideas of things I could try to get it working?

Thanks.

Talking

It only had a 5 month warranty which just expired last month.

I ordered a new Intel motherboard and a Pentium 3.2 ghz processor to replace it now either way. God I love Tigerdirect!

I don't think just a new mobo will fit in that case because it is brand name.

Could also be memory. Usually a pc will turn on, all the lights will turn on but nothing will show up on the screen and there won't be any beeps.


So again it could be memory
