Welcome to the forums kewt. kemper :)

Are you able to swap any other components around with your brothers PC? My first guess would have been the power supply or motherboard - especially if it powered off all of a sudden. If you've replaced both of those components and it still won't power on, then I'm very confused indeed!

Can you try removing all the non-essential components and run the system using your brothers power supply and the new motherboard?

I had a neighbour's PC the other day, swapped out everything, PSU, CPU, RAM etc still did not work only thing left was the boot button, tested with a meeter that worked only thing left was the mobo which was a cheap generic one so I dumped the pc, as not worth doing anything with it. It was 6 years old and the lady had purchased a new PC.
