dead cpu or motherboard?

[the_transporter]

I am thinking it's the motherboard, but I want to see what you all think.

A8 5600K
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
4GB G.Skill DDR-1333
WD 320GB Blue

Pretty much, no video output when turning on the system (monitor continues to stay in standby/sleep mode).

I installed an ASUS G210 video card I had lying around and again, no video output when turning on the system.

Used VGA for the G210 and used HDMI and VGA connectors for the onboard/APU and still no video output.

No mobo beeps either. I am thinking the board is dead (reset the CMOS already). Any possibility it could be the CPU?
