Possible dead motherboard? Or something else?

My BIOS is AMI and I've been experiencing between either 3 quick beeps or 4 quick beeps on bootup. The 4 beeps usually happen after clearing the CMOS and booting up, the 3 beeps happen every time I boot up after that. Stii no boot up and no video.

I've tried re-seating memory, vid card and CPU. It *did* boot up OK a few times after clearing the CMOS but not anymore. I've already tried using brand new mem chips so I dont think its the RAM. I dont think its the vid card either since that worked on bootup a few times....

Right now, I'm guessing its the mobo since 3 or 4 beeps seem to indicate a possible mobo problem according to the error beep codes.

Any other suggestions before I go ahead and buy a new motherboard??

Thanks in advance!!
