Hi There,
There could be two chances:-
1) processor prob.-may b its extra heated up due to high temp.wat u can do is open up ur processor fan, clean it and apply paste(ask any comp. eng) on processor .keep inside of ur case clean & make sure no wires are blocking the air passages of case.its best to tie or tape them.
2)Motherboard-many chances r that ur motherboard is damaged/permanently stop working.
i had the 100% same prob. 3 yrs back & in my case the motherboard was no more!.if ur system is 5-6 yrs old there r high chances of faulty M.B.In that case u need to buy a new one to replace it.

That is not true. Hardware can always produce more than 2 problems.
Let's analyze this situation closely. He bought new RAM, HDD, and Mobo.
He was unaware that mother boards have compatibility issues that some memory doesn't work with some boards, etc.
RAM compatibility is usually the most annoying problem and aggravating to people trying to figure out the problems, because they naturally assume it is CPU, HDD, Driver issues.
He said his system was simply not booting. I mean, for all we know, he could have plugged in PSU wrong, maybe not to Mobo, maybe not to outlet, not to CPU. HDD isn't needed to run a computer, because it should go into BIOs anyways.
So let's see, if his computer can start, then maybe processor would be the problem. But he didn't say it was overheating problems, it simply can't start. That means the processor is starting either. Which can't be a result of overheating, although it can just be simply dead. Hopefully it isn't though, since he replaced his former.
He also said he replaced his motherboard, so unless he either broke it building the comp or it came broken, that shouldn't be the problem. New motherboards just don't fail on you when it is new. And telling him to replace his "M.B.", he already stated he bought new memory <.<

i do agree that new ram is more likely to be bad out of the box. but mother boards can come broken. i have actually had several that where bad from the manufacturer (especially cheap ones).
Do you have a volt meeter? If so i would un hook and plug back in all of you power suply connections if that doesn't work make sure your power supply is good with the volt meter. if it is good try replacing the ram with ram that you know to be in good working order. then if that doesn't work i would try replacing your mother board, then if that doesn't work try the CPU. if that doesn't work go buy a new freaking computer!!!
