    Reset CMOS then try to power up, I'd suggest just trying first to access only BOIS (del key) I'd also suggest using only basic hardware: mobo cpu/with hsf, one stick of memory and VC unless you have onboard video
    (to access bios no HDD is needed)

    Any time a used MOBO is used for the first time, First step is to reset BIOS to factory defaults, same same for using new memory as the previous user probably had different hardware and settings then You....
