I need some help

[mordenkainen]

My system recently stopped working. I was running an e6600 2.4 @ 2.8 on an ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium. I turned on my monitor the other day and there wasn't any picture. The system appeared to be locked up so I reset it. No matter what I do I am not getting any display.

I have stripped the machine down to its base parts. Mobo, processor, 1 stick of ram, and a video card. I have tried swapping in different ram and a different video card. Still no display. I don't get any post beeps either. When I turn on the computer the fans all spin up and I can hear the hard drive spinning up but thats as far as it goes.

I'm assuming its the motherboard, but I've never had a processor go bad. If the processor was bad would the system behave like this? I'm hoping to only have to RMA one part versus guessing and doing both of them. Please help.

Thanks

Theres not much else you can test without swapping parts out.

As the PSU could still be a problem, get a multimeter and check that yellow is approx 12V, Red approx 5V while plugged into the PC and powered up.
Check each connector used to be sure that all rails are covered.
