Bad motherboard?

Is it frequent to get defective motherboards?

I just got a new computer. After assembling it and powering on, monitor stays black. No beeps. All fans work.

Tried many things...

- First removed all front panel connectors, hard drive and dvd. No luck.
- Tried each stick of ram separatly. No luck.
- Tried an old PCI video card, did not work either.
- Re-built the computer outside the case (PS, Video, 1 stick RAM, Mobo), did not work either.

Monitor and old PCI video card are fine. Everything else (PCI-Express video card, memory, PS, motherboard) is brand new, so who knows.

Motherboard is Chaintech VNF4 Ultra (Socket 939).

I'm going to RMA this motherboard ASAP.

Is there any chance I am making the wrong diagnostic?

 
not much. are you able to try the cpu in another computer? it could also be the PS, but i would RMA the mobo.
 
I got an Aopen board one time retail, hot deal. And it would power fans and all but no worky🙁 It was RMA time.
