    does it normally beep, and if so did it beep this time?

    have you tried a different monitor?

    have you tried leaving it and seeing if it makes the windows startup sound (assuming you have windows with a startup sound that is)

    have you tried leaving it for a while and seeing if you get hard drive activity? (on my pc the hard drive light stays on solid until linux/windows starts loading)

    i cant see any problem other than a CPU/Bios/motherboard problem that would cause the pc to not send out a video signal or attempt to boot the os, becuase if the hard drive was nailed it would still boot, and have a "hard drive nailed" error

    if it was grphics card or monitor then it would boot up normally, with no video.
    (that was pretty much stating the obvious but the obvious things are always the problems)

    hope you get it working soon

    hi there
    thanxs for replys,we r not 100% sure wot it was that caused problem
    but think it was down to the psu.we stripped everything twice and started
    from scratch putting everything back together it still had same problem.so we put motherboard into a new case and everything worked fine.

    It could have been somthing as simple as dust in the memory slot breaking the conection, the amount of time i gone to customers who have had the same problem and cleaned the memory slots out with an air duster, and Bingo it all fine again. :thumbs
