I was using my comp normally then it just froze, i had done nothing before i was just chatting. Then it froze and i restarted it.
I asked my friend for help and we tried with a diffrent 3d card that we were sure that worked. Still nothing. The problem is that when i turn the comp on all the fans start but no immage goes on the screen, it stays in standby mode.

For a bout a month ago my comp overheated a few times untill i bought a new CPU fan... so im wondering if its my cpu or my mobo that was fried? or does anyone have any other theories?

First eliminate the Power Supply as a possibility, do you or a friend have a P/S you could swap out to test? It could be M/B, CPU, RAM, P/S, theres a lot of possibilities, you're going to have to go through a process of elimination to find the problem.

If you were experiencing CPU overheating, I would suspect it first.

Start by swapping out the chip and see what happens.
