Not mine. I get nothing unless I have a good PSU, CPU and RAM. I like to
keep two PCs with the same level of technology (Athlon/DDR/ATA) just to make
troubleshooting easier.

This was my experience too. Had an Athlon go bad and all that happened when
the box was turned on was spinning fans. Usually you can take everything
off the mobo with onboard video (RAM, CPU, IDE Dev's, PCI
Dev's) and power it on. If it's good it will POST with video output. If it
works with nothing attached, then start adding things one at a time starting
with the CPU.
