Update: I put my CPU (identical one) in the new PC. Still nothing.
The CPU is about a year old and in perfect condition. I put the CPU
in question in my PC and it boots fine. I guess the issue must be
with the mobo. Any suggestions or ideas as to why it may not be
running post or beeping, know that it is the mobo? Thanks.

Remove one of the memory chips and see if it will boot.

Tried that several times. One of the first things that came to mind,
anyway...no such luck.

PSU voltage selector is set properly?

There have been several reports (here and elsewhere) of a large number
of failures with the Chaintech 7NJL6 motherboards. The failures have
ranged from what you describe (no POST) to unstable/erratic operation.

I teach an A+ class and we used (or tried to use) those motherboards
with disastrous results. We wound up sending them all back.

My personal recommendation would be to get an RMA# from Chaintech and
then call TigerDirect to make arrangements to ship the motherboard back.
You *don't* want an exchange. You want something from a different
manufacturer. We used MSI.

It appears that *some* of the 7NJL6 motherboards are OK. If you get a
good one, consider yourself lucky. If you get a bad one, dump it right
away and get something else.

Hope this helps.

John
