The graphic cards is ONBOARD. It's a chipset, not an actual extension card. So throw that out the window =\
Thing is, I couldn't even enter BIOS menu... so at first I thought it was my mobo.
I switched it out with a new mobo, it came with a new CPU chip and RAM, and I got the -same- results. I couldn't tell what the LED lights were doing at all because I didn't hook them up that time (it was a really wacky pin set).
The fans come on at least, but that seems to be all. The fans are powered by the circuits within the motherboard, which is powered by the PSU. The only thing I did not change out was the actual PSU (Power Supply Unit), that and an actual sound card.
Two motherboards can't fry just like that... However, could the PSU actually be broken in a specific way to where it powers certain parts (Fans), but not others (CPU/HDD/BIOS)?
