PC will not boot

Have a bit of a problem with PC and cannot get it to boot, not even in to BIOS. Thought it was motherboard problem, changed that and still did not work. So went on to replace processor, power supply, RAM and IDE cables. Still no luck. I think the problem has something to do with IDE connections, if I leave them disconnected, the hard drive spins as do the DVD drives. As soon as I connect them, I get nothing.

There is power coming in, the fans and lights all work. I have tried hard drive in daughters computer and it works fine. Have also tried clearing CMOS and re-seating RAM as well as tring two video cards and on-board graphics - always the same.

I have now run out of ideas so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.....


Many thanks

Abs
