Hi everyone,
A few months ago my computer suddenly stopped displaying so I checked cables (display & case) and checked the graphics card and nothing was broken or out of place (computer would turn on, but not display). I even tested the CPU in another compatible motherboard on another custom build computer and it booted up just fine. I then decided to check the motherboard and I noticed a few pins bent. So I then decided to buy a new motherboard. Once bought, I tested it again to no avail; would start up, but no display at all. Looking at the motherboard while powered on, I noticed the CPU led had a solid LED which means there was a problem with the CPU. I inspected the CPU and noticed little blemishes on it (presumed burn marks) so I bought a new CPU which I received today and I still have the same problem. While checking the motherboard I noticed the CPU led would flash for 2 seconds then switch the the RAM LED for 2 seconds, rinse and repeat. I've also tested one stick of RAM to no avail. So far I've bought a new motherboard, CPU, graphics card and new RAM. I've reset the CMOS battery, tried DVI, HDMI and VGA, googled all around to find nothing. I'm now really stumped to what it would be as I've tried everything. I would love some assistance.
Thanks
Edit: I also forgot to mention my cooler is missing two screws that are supposed to be mounted to the bracket on the motherboard and I only have 3 screws holding the board in place.
