OK so I stripped everything but the CPU, RAM and video card., still nothing. I tried a diff video card and still got nothing as well. I verified that the CPU fan is plugged into the correct pins on the mobo. I do have have the internal speaker hooked up and am getting nada from it. All pins appear to be in good condition & I have been grounded the whole time I have been working on it. I don't have the tool to test the CPU temp, I always check the BIOS or mobo monitor for CPU temps.
