System not posting no display nothing :(

Right i have an old system which acts as my server here is the spec:

Asus Striker Extreme 680i SLI
Intel Core2Duo E6700 skt-775
4 x 2GB Corsair 800Mhz C5
4 x 1TB Raid 0+1
1 x 320GB OS
XFX 8800GT 320MB
Coolermaster Silent pro 700w

The other day i had no display so hard reset it and powered it on again, the system lit up as usual but no hdd leds flashed and no post or display.

After trying a few things i decided the mobo had finally given up the ghost so swapped it out with a spare abit in9-32 max (Same chipset 680i).

Powered on and everything lit up then turned off????

I thought maybe a bad gfx card so swapped that out with another identical card.....no fix same problem....

Thought maybe PSU so plugged the psu into a psu tester but all lit up and seems to be working fine.

Took all the ram out but 1 stick....no fix.....

Is it possible the CPU has died, i have never had a cpu die but what happens if a cpu is dead would it match my symptoms?



Plugged everything in

just tried a enermax galaxy 1000w and exactly the same thing do you think the cpu has gone poooof?

I'd disconnect everything and try that first. Just to rule out existing hardware failure.

i have changed everything, mobo, taken out 3 of the four sticks of memory in various combinations, changed gfx card, psu the only thing left is the cpu but as this is the first time i have ever had a cpu go on me im doubting myself, just wanted suggestions i may not have thought off or if someone can confirm what happens when a cpu dies to see if it matches my symptoms.
