System died.

Tried to boot with only cpu, fans, memory and video card. CPU/
motherboard doesn't boot, that is no boot splash, no beeps with or
without memory or video.

Cpu fan works, CDROM opens and closes, video card definitely and memory
work I checked by swapping components, brand new power supply, cmos
battery still good (also checked in another device).

Am I correct the cpu is dead?

Most likely the MB. CPU's will stand up much longer and are better
quality controlled than motherboards.

Normally, that's what I'd tell someone else in my position but doctors
make the worse patients. In either case it's a new component. Thanks
for the insight, makes a sense regarding the lack of beeps.

Monitor works but going to try booting the board again with after a CMOS
reset and no components.
