Hello forumites :D

Let me describe my mysterious situation. I have a sager NP8180, with a crossfire setup. Recently, it's overheated. It was literally smoking. I know that its the GPUs that tend to get really hot, and the smoke was coming from a vent close to the GPUs.
When trying to power it on after this, there were no signs of life.

I proceeded to remove both GPUs. Now, when plugged in, the power indicater light comes on. This wasn't the case immediately after the failure. I've tried running each card alone, by popping it in the master slot, and I still do get the power indicater light. Unfortunately, in all of these cases, the machine doesn't power on at all. No fans, no sound, nothing.

Since there's no repair center in my country, I'd have to order parts online. What should I order? From these symptoms, is it likely to be a bad mobo? or PSU? What is cooking?

I'm not really familiar with testing the functionality of parts. Researching this online might help if you don't want to pay to get this done.
