Is there some slight, but possible chance, that your ON-OFF switch on
the case has failed?  Perhaps when you push it ON, it doesn't stay ON
long enough for it to POST.
I'm thinking that I would at least have to prove it before buying a
bunch of new stuff that won't work without a good switch.  Yes, they
do go bad - been there, done that.

After talking with a number of people and doing a bunch of the same tests I'm doing now on the new system, I decided to start replacing parts and started with the mother board.  I continued to have the same problems so I next bought memory, then a processor.  Now I have a whole new system and still have the same problem.  What are the chances of getting two bad mother boards back to back?  I find that very hard to chew.

I don't think it's seeing the bios.  I've had these issues with other systems and bad memory always gives a beep etc.  I get nothing at all.  Is there a way to test the bios?
