Is my motherboard still alive?

I have a dual-cpu motherboard (intel l440gx) with two pentium 3 cpu.

Due to my stupidity, I burned both CPUs and I'm pretty sure they're
totally dead.

However, I'm not sure if the motherboard is still good.

When I put the dead CPU in, the cpu fan still runs, the on-board
network card still blinks, the hard drives still spins, the cd-rom
still responds.

But there is no video and the floppy drive doesn't blink.

If I pull the CPU out or memory out, it will beep 4 times.

There is no burned chips visible on the motherboard.

I performed a CMOS clear but the result is still the same.

So is the motherboard still good? I don't have two good CPU to give
it a try.
