Got a new motherboard, installed everything as I normally do, but when I start it up, only the fans and MB lights work; no post or beep. I started pulling components, but still nothing changed. I figured it might be a bad MB, so I re-installed everything to my old board, exactly as it was when it worked last week. Same problem.
Damn, so maybe its the CPU that got broken somewhere in the mix - nope, I bought a new CPU, same problem with both boards. Even with no drives or RAM installed, I still cant get any beeps or errors. On a small chance, I bought a new MB speaker, in case Im just not hearing the error beeps...but I doubt that's it.
Old MB is ASUS M4A79XTD
New MB is MSI Gaming 970
Old CPU is a Phenom ii
New CPU is an fx-6300
Also:
Replaced the PSU - no change.
Replaced the Graphics card - no change
Any ideas before I start replacing all my components and going crazy (and broke)
So to recap, Ive now tried two boards (old and new), two CPUs, two video cards, and two PSUs, all in various combos. I get lights on the motherboard and the startup LEDs, but no beeps and no images. Connections are all tight across the board. And everything worked fine before I started swapping things around. Ive tested in the case and breadboard style too for everything.
