CPU - AMD ATHLON II X4 640
GPU - NVIDEA GTS 450
MB - GIGABYTE 77OT-USB3

One of my components are broke. The PC will not post. It usually makes a beep when it posts but it dosnt. I have taken out the ram and it makes beeps indicating that there is no ram so i know it still works. It does the same for the GPU. The CPU still gets hot when the system is running but i dont know weather it is still broke. can a mb post without a cpu? if it cant then the CPU is broke?

(sorry for bad english)

More about : whats broken

A mobo cannot post without a cpu. A mobo cannot post without RAM. It can post without a GPU... it's just you can't see anything...

You can try using a single stick of RAM in each slot to see if the RAM is the problem.

If i were guessig I'd say the GPU is not working.
Try changing the GPU for another one. I keep an old PCI GPU around for this purpose.

Sometimes a power supply will lose integrity and still supply some power to the mb but not enough to actually post...
What PSU do you have?
