Can you try a separate graphics card and see if its the same? What about the BIOS - can you access that to check that the in-built VGA option is set to 'on'.
I've tried a separate graphics card and it doesn't work either (nothing, including the BIOS, shows up on screen)
If the CPU is shot, would the CPU fan still work?
Yes, the fan would still work.
What makes you think its the processor at fault? Try a bare bones boot with nothing but one stick of ram, cpu and the graphics card (or integrated graphics). Try the one stick of ram in all available slots. Maybe try another stick to check that its not the problem.
What about the PSU... could it be on the way out?
