If all the parts a 'known good' then you've likely wired it wrong, like the
power switch to the wrong pins.

I've never heard of a system that won't power up at all if the memory is
missing/bad. They usually start and then you get the error beeps.

If the PSU isn't faulty, I would take the mobo out of the case and see if it
powers up, coz it could be a short under the board somewhere.

OK geniuses, how about this:

My daughter's PC worked perfectly until two days ago, when it simply
refused to turn on.

All hardware was verified.

Power supply, yes? No? Comments?

Verified after it stopped coming on? I mean, everything works right up to
the moment it's broke, ya know, so verified yesterday doesn't mean verified
today.

With nothing else to go on that would be my guess.

Now, things you can try are, for one, unplug it for a few minutes, re-plug
it in, and try turning it on again to see if you get the tell tale fan
bump, then nothing, indicating either a PSU failure or something shorted
(over loading it).

Also try the PSU separate from the motherboard and everything else but,
say, one hard drive to give it a load and use the green wire to black
jumper trick to turn it on and see if it runs. If so then the motherboard
and/or processor might be shorted causing a PSU over-current trip.

Well, yes, that's my first guess.

Seriously: What might cause that in a previously working system? If we
were gving odds in Vegas... seriously.
