    OK, if you can supply more information then it might be easier to help.

    You say you tested HD, GFX, and RAM. Did you test those parts in a different system, or did you try different parts in your system? What happens when you switch the computer on i.e. fans start, drives spin up ... ? Are there any beeps when you switch the power on? When did this problem start and did you do anything before this happened? Could you tell us what mobo you have also?

    From the limited info you gave i would say either motherboard or GFX but this is really a stab in the dark with the lack of detail

    I am assuming you get power, all fans are running but no display?

    If so then:
    Re-seat graphics card,
    Re-seat RAM
    CLEAR CMOS
    remove any recent hardware changes
    make sure the CPU fan is actually running

    if none of the above helps:

    Disconnect power from the mains,
    Put CMOS clear jumper in clear position
    Remove battery from mobo for about 10 - 20 mins
    Put battery back in,
    Put cmos jumper back to normal
    power up.

    If that doesnt work try a spare PSU if you have one.

    As you say you have tried pretty much everything else in another system (i assume) then its probably CPU or mobo.
