Weird no boot

My sister's PC is not working. So I'm trying to see what's up. It won't turn on at all. When I clear CMOS is turns on for 1 sec, goes to FF, then turns off. Then it won't turn on again. I was thinking the PS, but why does it turn on right after CMOS clears, but not any other time.


Epox 8K7A+
XP1700
Enlight 300W PS

In the mean time I'm going to remove all the cards and try to boot with just mobo/cpu.

Looks like CPU or mobo. Put them both in my new case and same exact thing happened. I guess I'll look for a spare CPU tomorrow and see if that works.

If my mobo is fried could that possibly fry a working CPU?
