I'm running an old Q6600, 8800GTS and P35-DS3L build.
I've reset/replaced the CMOS battery and I've swapped video cards (HD 6850); same problem.
I tested the psu on a much older build (P4/TNT2, lol) and it runs. Don't know if that qualifies as enough of a test.
The remaining culprits are the mobo, cpu and memory. If I simply remove the memory, shouldn't I still get a display? I've tried and I don't get a display, meaning it's most likely the cpu or mobo. The mobo has no clear signs of any problems (blown capacitors, damage, etc)
Either way, where do I go on from here? Anything I can do before moving on to swapping parts to a test computer? (I don't have one with an LGA775 socket + PCI-E and would likely have to go through a friend's which I want to avoid)
