[kfx400rider03]

my old motherboard i believe went bad. my computer would not turn on when i pressed the power button. and i read somewhere that u jump to wires and it turn everything on but once you take to wires away it should stay on and if it doesnt the mother board is bad. did that and that why i beleive my motherboard is bad.
so today i my new mother board which is the same as my old one(same part number) came in the mail i installed it and it still wont turn on.

That’s a common problem. Get a good one and don't skimp on the price. The good ones are worth it.
