My roommate is upgrading my computer for me. The whole project was aimed at getting me a new graphics card installed. Unfortunately my old motherboard didn't have a 2.0 PCIE slot, so in addition to buying the new graphics card and PSU to support it, I had to buy a new motherboard.

He installed it once about 2 weeks ago, but we took it to geek squad and they said it was damaged. I just got my replacement today to try it again, and it still isn't working. After pressing the power button, the fan starts spinning for a second, then it stops right away. He's tried doing the whole process a few times, but nothing is changing. What could we be missing?

PSU is connected, right? If it is, then it's either the PSU or the motherboard that's failing. If everything is correctly connected, I'm 75% sure the MoBo is dead.

Try to swap the PSU for one you are sure is working, if you can. If it doesn't turn on, then it's almost 99% certain that you have a dead MoBo.

There's almost no difference between PCIE Versions, see article below:
