324647 2005-02-13 17:31:00 sounds like somethings died..........try resetting the cmos......this is usually done one of two ways........either remove the battery from the mobo for a few minutes of very close to the battery there'll be a jumper .......usually it's on a three pin block but the jumper has two pins......moving it from position 1-2 to 2-3 will usually clear the cmos......leave it there for a minute then move it back.......may pay to check your mobo manual for this........by doing this you'll reset your bios to defaults.....if it still dont start remove everythign except. the powersupply/ram/cpu/vid card and see if it boots........ drcspy (146)
324648 2005-02-13 17:35:00 Have you tried to clear the RTC (Real Time Clock) RAM in CMOS?

This will clear the date, time and system setup parameters.

Have a look in the motherboard manual to locate the RTC RAM / CMOS jumper.

To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Ground yourself - touch the metal pc case or something else metal (should always be done before working inside the pc.
3. Move the jumper cap to the reset position (instruction should be in motherboard manual) usually move from pin 1+2 to pin 2+3 for about 10 seconds.
4. Move the jumper cap BACK to the original pins (no cap or wrong pins and pc will NOT boot).
5.Plug power cord back in and turn pc on.
6.The BIOS* will need to be reset. Most BIOS have the option of loading BIOS defaults.
*You may have to hold down <DEL> key during the boot process to access BIOS.

Hope this helps :D
