no beep, no display = mobo dead or cpu?

[buds]

after my comp crashed, when i tried restarting it, it doesnt show any display nor beep.. thought it was the mobo so i bought a new one.. installed it and it does the same thing.. no display or beep.. does that mean the cpu is dead? wouldnt it beep if the cpu doesnt work.. tried taking out the cpu and turned on still no beep.. any ideas? will the ram affect it?

can you say what type of crash occured?
did you overclock?
also it would be helpful to know what hardware you are using

well, finally solved it.. it ended up to be one of my rams.. tested one at a time and viola.. it worked... well, after buying a new mobo (good thing it was cheap) this is what i found out.. i was thinking of getting another cpu too.. i guess i dont need that anymore...thanks minimal effort for your effort on helping me...
