Unplug everything except the PSU & power button (no drives, LEDs) & take the memory out, just leaving the graphics card in. Check the cmos jumper is correct (not set to clear settings) & take the battery out for good measure. Fire it up, should get some beeps cos of memory errors, if not, you have nailed it to cpu/mobo/graphics/psu then time to substitute those somehow somewhere one at a time

just got the same board as you and i think i found the issue. I couldnt get it to post no matter what, but I did have some very old 5300 ram lying around. managed to boot into the bios with that, set the ram timings to manual, select 800mhz and it boots with 4gb now.
