Signs my mobo died?

It seems I have a hardware failure, but I can't quite put a finger on exactly what.

My dekstop doesn't POST when booting. The boot screen doesn't show, just a black monitor (the monitor is on and getting a signal though).

All the fans are on, no beeping noises. The LEDs on the motherboard for CPU phases get about 3/4 of the way lit up and don't go further.

I've tried:

- reseating the RAM

- unplugging certain harddrives

- changing GPUs

- unplugging the pc, waiting, and rebooting

Could my mobo be kicking the bucket?

seems my mobo is a discontinued product, so...no new parts for that :o

Try a different PSU, I've seen some actually turn on the computer like yours but do nothing more. Also look for blown caps.

after running around confused for a day, I finally found the issue :lol:

The monitor died...well the screen did, but it was still getting power, giving me the impression that the system wasn't booting....silly technology :P

Thanks for all the replies, folks :)
