Sometimes it could actually be a brand new motherboard out of the box, or about a month after. One of my friends PCs had stopped posting/not booting, his memory and everything was fine. He had an MSI 970 AMD gaming board though. About a week later he had bought a MSI 970A Krait edition. He popped that one in and it completely fixed his problem. It's horrible, but sometimes boards can either come dead, or just die all of the sudden.
