So I turned off my computer normal as usual, and then a little bit later tried to turn it back on again. Nothing. I checked the power cord and unplugged and replugged it in. The case lights, fans, cpu fan, and gpu fan all spin up and things seem to be going just fine, however, I get no post on screen from the motherboard and get nothing coming up. I check all my connections and they are solid. I also notice that the mouse and keyboard don't power on from the mobo USBs. I tried clearing CMOS and again checked all my connections. Same results. It powers on, the mobo power light is on, and everything on the board spins up, but nothing from USB and no post. Anyone got any suggestions on what the problem might be? Right now I am thinking my mobo is just dead (I have had it for years now so it wouldn't be surprising) and I need to either replace it or get a new system. Any suggestions or help is appreciated :).

It is an old 939 system.
Asus A8N SLI deluxe

Check the post code from a website, or tell us the post code, your not telling us enough info. I had an old comp that would do the same thing, the video card was bad, post code said so, and it was right >.>

start pulling items to eliminate possible hardware issues. Remove the optical drives, hdd's, all but 1 ram stick, try different video card and cpu if you have one. Try different psu. That way you can narrow it down 1 item at a time for sure, if you have extra, known to be good parts- to swap with.
