Try taking the CPU out and see if you get error beeps when you attempt to
boot.


The same - no beeps. Is that indicative that the motherboard is faulty? Or
does it narrow it down to anything else?

As I'm so unsure - I've taken some images of the CPU itself as I'm really
not sure what it would look like if it had burned out. What is the general
consensus - are these burn marks or valid glue / discoloration marks?
