Getting PC to work again - need help - attempt 2

[mehere]

First sorry for cross posting I was not sure which NG would give me the
better response.

OK

I have a PC I am trying to rescue form my Parents. They had a mouse
infestation and they got into the PC and obviously the PC stopped working.

I have now cleaned out the PC and removed all the crap of all boards by
using a very similar process as at

and all appears to be looking good.

I have reconnected everything and having no additional luck.

Symptom is that the MB appears to be gettng power (can see the LED's light
up) and when I push the power button the CPU fan and two other case fans
spin for a brief couple of seconds and then nothing.

So my question what could be the issue can you point me to what I should
look at first. I tought of a new case with a new Power supply, but thought
before I do that I'd ask here for some ideas.

BTW its an ASUS A7V8X MB with an Athlon 2.4Ghz CPU I think

There is only this group in your Newsgroups header. Did you
*multipost*?

2.4GHz or Athlon +2400?

That's a pretty fast PSU. Bet he paid extra for it.
