You need to do some more troubleshooting before you pop in another motherboard..
It could easily be your power supply...
There is a good tutorial in the hardware section about pulling all the cards and testing the basics...
Start there, then come back and post what you find.

You can reset the CMOS by pulling the battery for a few minutes or an hour... then putting it back in..
You might also have a burned out cpu...

I already changed power supply, video card,and CPu, and still nouthing happens. If the CPU was bruned out it should still turn on the fans and lights if i pull the CPU out should it not ?
