Motherboard problem

I'm not a really big computer expert but my computer is failing to start up and I have no idea why, I have a hint that it's due to the motherboard though. The computer actually turns on but it won't run on the monitor and it's nothing to do with the monitor at all as I've tested it on various others. I've also tried taking out the graphics card and turning it on but still I had no success.

All the fans spin correctly as well, I've taken it to my local computer store and he put in a POST card which came up with error D1 and he had no clue what it meant so I've come here looking for further help.

All of the parts I have purchased can be found here: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=230154&action=wish_lists

However I have bought a new psu which is 750watt and 80+ silver

I gave all the information I could think of, if you need anything else feel free to ask.
 
Like above, try booting with one stick of memory. Try both by itself. Have you reset the bios, if not give it a try.
 
Yes I've tried with one memory stick, only with the motherboard graphics etc, everything is in good working shape but I never get any signal on my monitors. I believe it's the motherboard considering it says it can run up to x amount of memory or graphics and it looks like they're both higher than it. It was pretty cheap at the time which is why I'm considering replacing it with a more powerful one, would that be a good idea?
 
Well its a lower end board with a dated chipset. But that doesn't really mean its the board. It needs bios 1201 to support the FX 6300. Have you reset the bios. Try shutting it down. With it off and unplugged, push the power button on the case a few times. Plug it back up and see what happens.
 
I would suggest we take the Bios battery away for a few minutes.
Just wonder if the computer been overclocked previously.
We may try reseat the CPU carefully as well.
Look for the mobo capacitors and see if any is damaged.

Also, take the RAM out and power on the computer to hear if there is any beep sounds.

Hope these helps.
