The first thing I would do is run a post check on the motherboard. If you
are lucky your board has a built in post card
     
Uh, what? I would not call that luck, I would call that "I paid big
money for real server-class equipment". I have never seen a post board
come with consumer-class equipment.Maybe nowadays the really high-end
enthusiast space has such things?

Anyway, why do you need one? If the POST is coming up with anything it
will beep a post code. Sure, it is more annoying to decipher than
looking at a display, but you don't have to buy anything... And anyway
it sounds like this MB never gets to post.

Well my board is an Intel DP55KG that I paid about $180 for. Not cheap but not that expensive. There is a big difference between beep codes and  numeric readouts. The numerics can give very detailed information as to the source of the problem. I will be willing to bet that the board got through some of the post steps even though nothing noticeable happened. Of course all of this is somewhat academic if his board doesn't have a built in post card. It's cheaper to just buy another motherboard.
