disconnected all but mobo, cpu, 1 memory card, and hdd. does the same as everything connected. starts up gets the post screen, then just dies. switched memory cards i was using, tried with 2 memory cards, switched sata ports i was using, and still no luck. tried getting response to tab or f12 on 3 different keyboards, acted like nothing was plugged in.

is the mobo bad or possibly cpu? my hunch is mobo.
