You can call around to your local computer repair shops. One will likeky have a machine that can emulate your mother board and test whether the HD will boot a system.

 By loving, forgiving, and serving, it is possible for your whole life to become 
one single vision of the sublime beauty of God.

Something as "funny" as a defective HD "can" kill the boot...
Sometimes a PS will "require" the load of a (good) HD or it will not let
the PS "fire up"...  When you get this low in the parts, it helps
to "also" start swapping in old (known good) parts if available...
