Computer not booting

So last friday my computer just turned off out of the blue. After that it just spun the fans for a fraction of a second and then when i tried to hit the power on button again nothing happened.

After this i concluded that the PSU must have gone haywire so I went out and bought another one, plugged it in and the same thing happened. After this I was sure it had to be the motherboard so out I go again and get me a new motherboard. I switch out the old motherboard and plug everything in, now it tries to start for a little longer but no image comes up on my screen and the computer doesn't post, after having tried for a short while it reboots. This happens until I manually hold the power button down or switch the PSU off. Because of this I thought the RAM had to be damaged so I take it out one at a time and this always happens until I take out the second RAM stick and now it doesn't reboot loop but it still doesn't post or give me any error messages.

Because of this I get a RAM stick from my friend and try that with the new motherboard and PSU but with the new RAM the same things happens as with the old sticks.

Now I am at a loss and have no idea what might be wrong so I seek your guidance. If you have any ideas please post them, I'm getting rather desperate.
 
Well I just ripped everything apart and even reseated the cpu. Now it doesn't reboot loop but I don't get any picture on the screen nor do I get a post.
 
don't you have to plug into the onboard, go into the BIOS and disable onboard, then plug into normal vid card? Sorry, been a couple years since I've built a system.
