Well get either a different motherboard or power supply to try.

The test is easy if you get a power supply that is compatible and you know works then you have a dead motherboard. if you get a motherboard that works and the system still won't power up then you have a bad power supply.

You don't need another mobo to test the power supply?? use this trick. If the psu powers on the you can start looking at other things.
