So, do the second suggestion.

If you take it completely apart and put back just CPU, 1 stick of RAM, and Video and it won't post, try a different stick of RAM in a different slot. If no go, try different video card. If it still doesn't work, MB or CPU is dead.

Bad PS often take MB with them. Especially true of cheapo factory PS. 250-350W.

Capacitors fail and send ugly power to MB.
