P4ITA2 power problem

[Front242]

One of our schools is running a server on this mobo. The PSU burned out and was replaced with no problems untill it started to report errors (don't ask they did not write them down). When we recieved it there was no video and now no power. PSU is fine and CPU fan kicks up at power on then stops. possable mem problem checked, and mem is okay (rambus 400). Reset bios, and checked video card. Assuming MOBO or processor went south, but would like second opinion.

Dont you just love it when they dont write down any of the error messages? I always do...

The only way to be sure is to check the components you mentioned on a different MB...I would add them one at a time...run for a little while (if running at all ) before adding next one..

If none of them have a problem...then it's probably with the MB...

You could also reverse this test by using your known-to-be-working components on the MB...if it works...then the problem is with one of their components

One other thing, though..although very doubtful..is there any way the board could be shorting out?

You said the psu blew...any tiny metal particles? (Look for a black-ish dust.)
This, ofcourse, would depend on if the psu REALLY blew, or if it just went "out." (Ive only seen one psu do an actual "blow.")

You might want to ask them if anyone did any tightening of the MB screws...

Also, how long after they installed the psu did everything work fine?
Were the error messages displaying while booting, or after OS loaded?
