New Motherboard faulty?

I've just bought a motherboard and set it up, turned on the PC and the LEDs light up, but there is no POST beep at all and nothing on the screen.

I have swapped out the PSU and Graphics card with no joy. Also have taken out the RAM and no beep about that not being there either.

I've done a search online for this issue and if not the PSU, it could be the MoBo or CPU? I have another motherboard and CPU I could swap it for, but that would only help narrow it down if they are both the same socket.

Has anyone got any other thoughts? I've called the company I originally bought the PC from and they didn't have any more ideas (they took my original MoBo back and found it faulty, but had no stock to replace it).

You need to give complete specs to all of your hardware (i.e. case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, video card, power supply) including model numbers.

Cripes, that'll take more brain than I have left right now. I'll come back with it all later.

ETA: In case anyone's looking here, the problem is solved. I got a replacement MoBo, changed the SATA config settings in BIOS and it's running like a dream again.
