| If you get no beeps and the screen does not not activate (i.e. it may turn on but it is as if it is in sleep mode) it may be a bad processor.  I just found this out the hard way after trying different motherboards and power supplies.  It came down to RAM or CPU and I switched the processor and it worked again using the old vidoe card, the old mobo, and the old ram.
 Before you go out and buy anything, borrow equipment from friends to test everything out so you don't waste money.
