Last week, while my computer was on I accidently pulled power plug out it created a big spark. After the accident my computer won't start up. Everytime I turn the PSU switch on my computer boots up, but nothing appears on moniters. I have 2 moniters both displayed nothing. No hardware boots up except motherboard and PSU. I have tried the following : clearing CMOS, detaching/reattaching everything from motherboard excluding CPU. Heres my specs : Asus M2NPV-VM, AMD Athlon X2 4600+, 420w raidmax PSU. Thanks!

Sounds like Fried mobo or Fried CPU to me. Mobo should have protected the CPU so the CPU is probably OK. You should start looking for a replacement (same model) mobo.

SInce he didn't say I was assuming "none". Hence, my diagnosis of dead mobo or dead CPU.

Ahh I was thinking about a dead mobo too, but the green led still lights up.. Forgot to mention that there are no beeps even If I take out ram.
