motherboard died...

[drifter106]

System:
CPU: AMD windchester 3500 2210MHz
Motherboard: MSI Neo Platinum
Memory: 1024 MB of OCZ 3200 el r2
Video Card: BFG 6800 o/c Nvidia
Hard Drive: seagate 200.0 GB @ 7200 RPMS
Additional Hard Drives: seagate 200gb
Monitor: Dell 2005fpw
DVD Manufacturer & Model: Asus
DVD R/W: NEC 3500a
Storage Interface: IDE
Sound Card: soundblaster Audigy 2
Speakers: Klipsch 5.1 pro media
Internet Connection: Road Runner Cable
Operating System: Windows xp Professional sp/2

No beeping sound when it powers up...fans work, dvd's acknowledge the power hit (lights come on)

As this system was put together back in 04 I am not sure as to what way to go insofar as the rest of the components are concerned. The board supports AGP and I am undecided as to whether I should dump the video card and the ram....maybe get something newer or try and find something that would work with the same components (if there is a board that still exists).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try a different power supply first. Even good ones fail. Finally found an agp 939 board at xpcgear. It's an asus a8v-x for $100. Pcplanet has an asrock dual vsta with agp or pci-e slots for $100. Ebay has my board, the asrock dual sata II for $62 plus shipping new. I have 2 of them.

Could also be an issue of bad memory
