    Hello Mate!

    Not long a go I had the same problem when I was playing with a friend pc, I replaced bit by bits after replacing the hole mother board the problem was still exist, the last think I replaced was the CPU and there you go.the machine showed me the display, but this is only my experience in this situation,
    because I have bought two mother boards at the time Incas but mother board was fine, so is RAM and Video card.
    there is one more thing you can do if you have A spare Video card in case your Video card is not functioning properly you can try that.
    I hope I have been helpfull

    thanks

    1. Beep codes.

    (a) Looks to me like the one that fits is:
    "Repeating Short Beep = No Power, Loose Card, or Short."

    (b) So either some thing isn't connecting [reseat all cards and CPU]...
    Or there's a short [mobo to case?]

    2. To eliminate the possibility of a short of mobo to case, set the mobo out of the case on a non-conducting surface.

    3. In case there's a faulty on-switch...
    To Startup the PC, short the on-switch pins on the mobo rather than using the switch.

    4. Connect only minimum hardware as follows:
    PSU, mobo, CPU+heatsink+fan, 1 stick of RAM in the 1st slot, video card, internal speaker.

    5. To make sure the default BIOS configuration settings are being used:
    Remove the CMOS battery for the time being.
    Have you any idea which hardware matches the default settings? Try to arrange a match.
    Is there any on-board video?

    mmm i am suspecting mobo is short too since psu is tested ok..

    sadly there isn't any on-board video... or u mean that the hardware is not compatible to each other?

    i will test the bare-bone check ltr on and see how is it

    Cheers

    "there isn't any on-board video... or u mean that the hardware is not compatible to each other?"
    It's important that [if you're going to use the default BIOS configuration settings] those settings are suitable/appropriate to the connected hardware.
    i.e The hardware [then connected] is compatible with the BIOS settings [then in force].
    And therefore if you use the default BIOS settings, the hardware then connected should be compatible with those.
