Does this make sence to anyone else?

So, I was doing some overclocking a couple of weeks ago, when I went a tad too far and killed something. It's taken me up to now of ripping parts out of this computer (this computer being the general use one) to test in my machine to find out exactly what I broke. At first I though I'd done the gfx card in, but having tried out my bros FX5200 in mine, I still get nothing displaying on the monitor (no bios, nothing). So I though, ok, perhaps it's the RAM, but same story there. Since then I've tested the CPU, Hard drives and PSUs (just to be sure) all on my motherboard, and I still get no display signal.

Could the motherboard cause this?

Have tried a different monitor?

Is it POSTing/Are you getting any unusual beeps during POST?

Tried a different monitor, and I'm not getting any unusual beeping. I've also tried resetting my bios with jumper switches.

test all your parts on a different machine?

it does sound like a possibly roast mobo, but it can't hurt to test.

I've tested the CPU, GFX and RAM on a different machine, works lovely.

Thanks for the input, to ebay!

My bet is that you've fried either the FSB or the Northbridge.

:above: This.

Although when I fried my Motherboard, the CPU went with it, so count yourself lucky sonny jim!
