Think my mobo crapped out?

Booted up my computer this morning after rearranging the cables, and had no signal whatsoever to the moniter. I'm not getting any kind of signal beep from the motherboard. I am wondering however, if something that happened last night is related. I was playing Halo, when all the sudden, everything locked up. Teamspeak started skipping the person in mid-sentence, and Halo locked up. Waited about 10 seconds, started running again, and had a network error in Halo for a few seconds, but then just got right back to normal. Then about an hour later, I was browsing these forums. This time the same thing happened, but it didn't unfreeze. I had to hold the power button to turn it off. That was the last time it was on. I tried resetting the CMOS twice, replacing the video card, unplugging optical and floppy drives, trying a different stick of RAM, and cleaning everything out. I'm not getting a voice warning from the mobo, or a beep warning from the speaker. Also my router isn't detecting a computer connected to it, and the orange Ethernet light isn't lit like it should be. 99.9% sure this means my motherboard is dead. Can anybody confirm this for me?
 
i can't conclusively confirm it, but i can say the same thing happened to me (except the halo part) and a new motherboard did fix my problem.
