I think mobo fried but would like any idea's before i buy new one. Thanks Andy

"Dying PSU fries mobo" - this happens all the time and you're right I'm afraid. If there is no POST (no beeps? The tiny case speaker connected?) and you even tried without graphics card, I assume it's dead. Try to run the board alone without RAM and video if it's still not beeping.
