No Man Stands So Tall As When He Stoops To Help a Child. Icrontian
I think I have about exhausted every possibility to troubleshoot this but maybe someone can think of something I've missed. This is out of a media center PC, micro ATX with a slide out mobo tray. I swapped out working RAM with a compatible but faster set of working RAM but when I reassembled, the sys won't boot or POST though all fans fire up. I was wearing a electrostatic wrist strap and did not detect any spark in the whole process but the power supply did snag my video card when the mobo tray was slid out. Here's what I have tried to troubleshoot:
1. Put old RAM back in = won't POST
2. Tested video card in another system = Good
3. Replaced power supply = won't POST
4. Reset CMOS = won't POST
6. Replaced processor with working spare = won't POST
7. Removed Mobo from case and tested with only video card, RAM, and of course processor = won't POST and NO BEEPS! NONE!! Also, no beeps with video card or RAM removed.
Me thinks the mobo is toast. Have I overlooked anything? :/

However, I'm not sure of your system (what is it? BIY? Model?).
but that's another story.
Thanks for the confirmatory thoughts folks; we'll call this mobo deceased. For now, I am moving on to invent new problems for myself.
