Does your board have Vocal POST ? Plug some amplified speakers
into "Lineout" on the back of the computer. Listen for
an error message.

If there are no error messages, you may want to do a
"cardboard test". The motherboard can be run with no
components on it. A screwdriver tip momentarily touching
the two power switch pins on the PANEL header will turn
the board on. The Vocal POST should give you a "No CPU"
message if there is no CPU installed. After a CPU is
installed, it should tell you "No memory" and the like.
The exact error messages are listed in the manual. Add
components one at a time, and listen for the expected
response, of the Vocal POST identifying the next missing
thing, or complaining about the last item added. Always
shut off and unplug, before adding or removing components.

This is best done with the motherboard assembled outside
the computer case. Pull the PSU from the case and mount
it next to the board. If the motherboard sits on a
thick phone book or other flat insulator, there will even
be room for the plug-in card faceplates to hang below
motherboard level. Be careful not to tug on the video
cable, or the video card will get pulled from its slot
all too easily.
