Default Computer recieves power but nothing is on ...

First off , my specs

Mobo : MSI K9N NEO V2
Processor : AMD 4000+ x64 (something like that)
GPU: XFX GeForce 8600GT
2 GB's of RAM (1GB+1GB)
Windows 7

I have been having this problem for two months now.I press the power button , and i hear the fans and everything starting to run - and that is pretty much it.Nothing ever comes on the monitor.
YES - I have tried meddling with the jumper and the CMOS
YES - The monitor is plugged in and running fine ( I checked it by plugging in the monitor to my laptop )

Almost everyone tell me that the graphics card has gone to hell , some people tell me that the mobo is screwed , and the most likely theory is that my PSU has gone kaput .But if the GPU is broken , then i would have heard a beep , right ? The same thing is with the RAM - a beep . But i don't get any beeps.No abnormal sounds AT ALL.

My parents , being the asses they are , see this as a wonderful opportunity to make me study even more so they won't buy a new PSU.Fortunately , i have another PC and I am a bit afraid of meddling with the power supply.The older computer was assembled in 2003 so i wonder if the PSU from the older one is compatible with the new computer.

Please answer me - If i spend another weekend away from Team Fortress 2 or Facebook , I'll go insane

Please forgive if i have made any spelling mistakes , I am from Serbia :\

No apparently not.

Have you tried booting in Safe mode and see what that looks like?

I didn't even get the chance.I just press the power button on the computer and nothing !!! I tried pressing the DEL button to see if it will lead me to the BIOS setup screen but that didn't work.Nothing was ever on screen - complete blackness.
