This was my experience too. Had an Athlon go bad and all that happened
when the box was turned on was spinning fans. Usually you can take
everything off the mobo with onboard video (RAM, CPU, IDE Dev's, PCI
Dev's) and power it on. If it's good it will POST with video output. If
it works with nothing attached, then start adding things one at a time
starting with the CPU.
