DS3 - Powers on but not much else

[GRiDlock]

I have a DS3 mobo with a Core2Duo 6300 and 2x 512Mb DDR2 533.

When powering on the mobo, the CPU fan and video card fan spin fine, but i get no video at all (and I've tried 3 different video cards). The other thing that seems odd is that neither the north or south bridge seem to have any noticeable heat ouput.

When attaching a speaker, the mobo give no error beeps, even when started with no ram installed ?

Anyone seen this or have ideas ?

Thanks

Can anyone confirm if the mobo beeps if you have no cpu / ram. Mine is silent no matter what ?

I've not confirmed its the board yet (will do this evening) but sounds the same problem as yours and going by fenderbass` comments it probably is the mobo
