Is my motherboard bad

If I have removed the hard drive, and then I turn on the computer I get nothing onscreen. Should there be something on screen if the motherboard is good.

I had went in and had used restore to restore to an earlier date. The computer locked up and got blue screen saying something had happened that could damage my computer and needs to shut down. I tured it off and now I get nothing. So I removed the hard drive. Shouldn't it at least try to boot and give a hard drve error or something.

Thank you
