A little bit of a stumper.
A few questions first. Do you have onboard video? If not, do you have AGP or PCI-E ?
Things I would try:
- Use a flathead screwdriver to connect the two power switch jumpers, in order to eliminate a faulty case switch
- Disconnect everything except CPU and CPUFAN. Take out the RAM and see if you get any beeps (make sure you have a case speaker, or a speaker attached to a wire with a female jumper plug on the end) and also see if the fan spins.
- Take out the CPU, but leave the CPUFAN plugged in, and install the RAM back in and see if you get power or beeps.

ok...back up to the top you go.
I have tried everything suggested, and still nothing. I took my cpu to a buddy of mine that works at a computer store and it was fried. Grabbed a new cpu and that one doesn't work either.
I think I might be on to the problem, my motherboard has a 24 pin power connector but my psu is only 20. The manual says a 20 pin should work, but could make the system unstable.
Is it possible that the power supply is whacking out motherboards making them fry cpu's?
Long shot, I know. But I have tried everything else.

it is possible. i would nopt reccomend operating a new motherboard from a 20 pin psu, regardless of whether the manufacturer says it is safe.
