[Gllug] Hardware fault

[Dylan]

Hi All,

I am faced with a machine which is *completely* un-responsive after power-up. 
There is no HD activity, no activation of the monitor from standby, and no 
beeping, although the fans run normally. I have removed or disconnected 
mouse, keyboard, DVD and HD (both SATA) and memory resulting in no change of 
response - i.e. there is no complaint of any kind about the lack of essental 
hardware. The machine's owner tells me that yesterday it spontaneously 
rebooted.

Is there any way simple way to distinguish a power supply, processor or 
motherboard fault? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Dx
