Yax, i did tat and still nothing. i tried a different mouse and keyboard. still the same. dam everything breaking apart. lol why can't things be like my transformers.. . lol simple and break proof. well almost
from wat other ppl are saying too is it might not be worth getting the motherboard. cuz you will have a hard time finding the exact one to run ur program.

6+ year old monitors need tobe replaced.  It's cheap enough now.

You have no idea how many times people call to say they can't turn on their monitors only for me to find out it's not plugged in.

It could be few things. It could be your graphic card, faulty RAM, hard drive, CMOS, or bad BIOS among others.

1.  Your Hard drive BAD
2.  Your motherboard fly...

1. power down the tower
2. unplug power cable from power outlet
3. open tower to access hardware inside
4. remove all but 1 RAM card (leave RAM card at slot #1, usually closest to slot cpu)
5. plug power cable back to power outlet
6. power on tower

If you don't get picture then try same step with different RAM card.
If you do get picture then reinstall all RAM cards.  It just may be that RAM cards are not seated properly. 
If you do get picture you can check the bios or properties of the computer to see if your getting all the RAM available.
let me know if this works

All that when it could just be a bad monitor?

It's confirm. I got a bad motherboard. Suck part is mine is AMD2 sockets. And new ones are AMD3. Lucky newegg.com still sells the older MOD. So I order it. I got a buddy who's into computer so he'll do it for free. Hehe. Heck beats  paying hundo(s) for someone else to do it. I guess I'll take him out to eat a big bowl of PHO. Lol
