Hello. I have an ASUS P5QL PRO / Q9550 system that, after some storms, would not POST. I followed all the great troubleshooting steps offered here. To the best of by ability, I believe I either have a bad motherboard, a bad CPU, or both. So I have purchased an exact replacement for each. If only one component turns out to be bad I would like to be able to return the other item. My question: Which should I install first? The new motherboard using the old CPU? Or the new CPU using the old motherboard? Which is more likely to have failed? And, might I damage one of the new parts by doing it this way? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the informative site!

So your PC is starting up and showing no display ??

If it is then remove every connections from the PSu to the motherboard , remove the ram ,GPU,BIOS battery also the front panel connectors and any other USB device clean them and put them, back together.
