Tried turning my PC on today and its not responding at all. There is power going into the machine but nothing is booting at all. Not even to the Bios screen.

I'm thinking it's probably the motherboard thats finally given out or possibly the CPU. I've ordered replacements for both but wondered what anyone else thought it might be. I know the GFX, the power supply and the RAM to all be fine.

Tried clearing the CMOS and booting with a basic setup(removed all but necessary hardware) but nothing. Keyboard lights up when plugged in so know there is power going through the system.

Also whats the best thermal paste around at the moment ?
