The CPU and cooler are they installed properly? Is the Power connector pluged in correctly, both the 20pin + 4 pin and 4pin for CPU? The Black cooler over whats called the north bridge is it extremely hot? Need to keep it cool!

Remember that you have narrowed the problem down to 2 variables, that of the CPU and that of the mainboard! Take it to a computer technician as he/she has many components available to diagnose your faulty component. They will simply pop in a new processor to check if it is your mainboard that is faulty, if it works fine then it would be safe to say your CPU is faulty. In my experience nine out of ten times its the mainboard that is faulty.
All the best!

Thanks for all your help.The PC is actually sitting as we speak in my friends office,he is a techie in computers and networking and has been trying to locate the problem when he has had time as a favour,i too think it is the mb,i paid £51 for it a little over 2 years ago and the only replacement i can find is a 3 year old same mb(used) for £42 on ebay.

The CPU and cooler are installed right and power connecter 4pin for the cpu have been checked,i have even bought a new PSU and tried that,everything seems to be pointing at the mb as memory,psu,hd have been checked,blew away any dust from the usual places but still the same result.
