motherboard wont POST

My PC was running fine until a day ago (when i moved the motherboard to another machine and back). I connected everything up, but now all I get is a blank screen, the drives power up as normal, but there is no beep at all. Some people tell me RAM, but others tell me that if it was RAM I would receive at least a few beeps. Any suggestions?

If it's ram or video, you would get a beep code. Unless you connected the internal speaker the wrong way.

You say "blank screen" - does anything appear or do you mean the dreaded blue screen? Do the power on/drive LED's come up?

I have almost the same problem with two computers im working on. But i never swaped the mother board. I dont think its the RAM because you should still get the POST test and fail on the RAM. Im thinking BIOS,bad power supply,posable bad periferal or somthing on the mainboard.
