athlon xp 2700+

gigabyte g7n400-l m/b

2 sticks of crucial ddr 400

ok, so i had found out that my memory was bad, mostly due to the ever-increasing PFN_LIST_CORRUPT bsod's that I was getting. i decided to try to figure out if it was only one or both sticks of ram using memtest86.

so i take one stick out, and the bios freaks and tries to load the backup bios.

i replace the stick and now the motherboard hangs before BIOS - I get nothing, not even video bios.

i removed everything but memory and video card, same problem. ditto with clearing CMOS.

did i just kill my motherboard, or is there something else i can try?

thanks in advance.
