Default Won't Boot

Hi All....

My computer started acting up. Upon pushing the power button.....The cdrom
light flashes at a constant rate....The fans on the case and CPU power up
and run
I have a green and yellow light on the case and they flash back and forth.
And all I hear is a slight clicking noise..Can't get into bios.....Any
ideas..?

What I've done so far

I replaced the motherboard with an identical one AsRock P4VM800
I pulled and swapped the ram around
I removed the video card...
I put in another hard drive
I disconected the cdrom
I reseated all cables including power supply ones


It seems to me that the clicking sound is coming from the internal speaker
I disconnected it....but still won't boot

Could it be the power supply....even tho it powers everything up...?

Any ideas...? This could drive a guy to drinking......Ha!!

Thanks

Could well be PSU, try hooking up a suitable PSU to check. Voltages may
not all be present, or out of spec, will run fans, but not CPU etc.
