Yep ,reset the cmos this morning as per manufactures instuctions ,fans work power button works but still no post ,the reason why i am concerened about the dvdrw is that without that we cannot install the chipset or the drivers for the gfx .Having said that the gfx should have a basic resolution to enable the loading of the bios screen without loading any drivers which brings me back to a mobo fault ,should mention the fan on gfx is working

You could also try swapping out the ram for different sticks.
Failing that, I would try your spare power supply just to see if you can get an output on the screen and POST (Power on self test).
Do you not get any LEDs or beeps on the board during boot? Some motherboards will beep or present LEDs during post do help diagnose the fault. i.e. Say 1 LED = CPU found, 2 LED = Ram found, 3 LED = Gfx found, 4 LED = running post. It could do something like that with beeps instead.

That was going to be my next question
,there have been no beeps at all ,all we have is the SB light on solid
