About a week ago I turned on my computer but it just went to a blank screen. All the fans were spinning, all the lights turned on, so I figured it was the hard drive. When I put it into another computer it came up that the hard drive was corrupted. I got a new hard drive but the same thing happens. I also tried a new video card, but still with the same results. I was thinking that since all the parts look like they're working physically that the power supply can't be the problem. I'm now thinking it might be the processor/motherboard but I really have no idea. Does anyone have any suggestions or had similar experiences?

Disconnect everything except the HD and the monitor. Disconnect the CDROM, Floppy, printers and anything else connected to the PC.
