VGA no signal error

Hi i wonder if u guys could give me a bit of advice

I just picked up a Shuttle XPC 2 and was told that there was a problem with it "VGA no signal error"

Got it home as i wanted a new project and tried to fix the problem

When turned on the ram light comes on, the cpu fan runs, the hard drive spins but i cant get a picture

Ive tried different ram nothing, tried different psu still same

So i thought is there a cpu in there? So i took cpu fan off and found out that there was a cpu in there but no thermal paste and the cpu looks brand new, but the cpu was cold considering i had been running it

Any ideas what i could try im thinking its the mother board thats faulty

Thanks

Cheers guys r try that

Would thermal paste cause the no signal?

Just a update

Ive removed the motherboard from the case

Used a different psu, changed the cmos battery

Still no beeps and nothing on the monitor

Worryingly the Cpu is still cold

Still getting the cpu fan working, memory light on

Cpu or Motherboard?

Where do i go from here?

I have read even a faulty cpu will get hot
