new computer fans running lights on no post or beep

[Westerndragon11]

I brought parts to build a new computer I put it all together the fans and motherboard lights came on but there is black screen and no post. I have internal speaker and there was no beep. I think it is the motherboard or CPU as I bought them used. I also bought the ram used but I don't think that the problem as there would be a beep and it is consair which is a good brand. Please help as only eleven days until I return is no longer possible

Any beeps if starting the board with no RAMs?
If no beeps, then CPU or board or both do not work.

No beeps when ram is taken out

With the system speaker installed, a normal POST would give 1 beep. With ram removed and Still no beeps, then there is a problem with either the CPU or the motherboard. My guess is the motherboard, as they go bad more often than CPUs.

I took the CPU out and powered up the motherboard there was no beep would that rule out the CPU as being bad as the motherboard speaker should have beeped if the motherboard was working

Nope. Normally, no beeps without the CPU, so we can't rule out the CPU.

 

[Westerndragon11]

OK but we can agree the ram isn't bad

 

[alexoiu]

At this point, we can't test the RAMs, so... probably they are good.

I took the heatshink off the CPU and turned on the system. I place my hand on the CPU and it was getting hotter for sure I turned the system off quickly so not to let the CPU get too hot. Does this mean CPU is working as if the cpu was dead there would be no heat coming from it
