I'm trying to repair a computer that at the last time it tried to turn on nothing would come up on the screen. And before that it would come up with some issues on the screen with a blue background. The employees would turn the computer on and off and the error would go away for a while. There was a new hard drive put in the computer less then a year ago by the Geek squad.

I took it apart and found a bad capacitor on the mother board and change it out. Turned back on and the fans would come on for a brief period and then cut out. Traced the problem back to the power supply. Got a new supply and turned back on . Fans now run real fast but still nothing coming from the screen. I know the monitor is good but even having the computer hooked up it wont even acknowledge the monitor. The indicator light still stays yellow.
Any suggestions?
Bad mother board?
