How would you know if the motherboard is broken?

OpenStudy (espex):

There are many signs, what is your symptom list looking like?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

well for one, the computer won't start up. Is that a symptom?

OpenStudy (espex):

That can be a symptom of a bad drive. If you disconnect all peripherals from the motherboard, not counting expansion cards, and the computer will still not boot, then you could have a bad motherboard or a bad expansion card. Ultimately you can remove everything except the video card and see if it will boot, if not, remove the video and see if it will post.
