Process of elimination

Does your CPU work in another board?
Same for ram
Try another P.S. and video card?

If you don't have acess to another system/parts, call around to the small comp. shops in your town and see which one would do a little swapping for a reasonable price.

Test your components on other systems in following sequence: power supply, CPU, rams, MB.
