    right you are, HDD, PSU, Mainboard, Video Card, Ram and CPU are the standard things to get a system booted. From there add your components, one at a time and if one causes a problem then you'll know what it is.

    Yes I have made sure that the monitor lead is securely tightened to the graphics card, still nothing!!

    I have disconnected all the drives, dvd player, dvd burner, hard drive, floppy,

    and still nothing.

    What will happen if I take out the cmos battery, what does this do??? :mad:

    As you can't get into the BIOS to reset to defaults removing the battery momentarly will reset everything, you can also do this with jumpers.. bit i think it will take another 3 pages explaing that concept to you.... i have already told you where to locate the CMOS battery, so remove it, replace it and see if it makes a difference.

    Bill has sent a trojan into your PC for slagging him off in your sig. You need to go to an internet cafe and write a whole load of dirty emails to Larry Ellison and copy them to Bill so he knows you're back "on side" - then he'll unlock your DVD player.
