replacement MB is here, but still wont boot

Both CPU and motherboard are cold. try new power supply, tried new memory. again intel customer support asked me to do the bios recovery. It is still hard to say whether the CPU or/and refurbnished motherboard faulty. Intel online chat guy the day before offered to do another RMA. But I would like to do some limited test. what a traumatic experience.
