    Hey,
    This has been wrecking my head....but I hadn't used the PC for a few weeks...it was working perfectly the last time I turned it on (aren't they always! :D )...but now when I turn it on...there is no display.
    I've tried about 4 differnent (known to work AGP cards)
    Borrowed a PCI VGA card and tried that...
    Monitors work fine on diff. PCs
    No beeps ...just nothing
    Removed CMOS battery still nothing...
    I've resigned myself that the mobo has gone to heaven but if you have any idea 's what else it could be I'd appreciate it.

    Looks like PSU or MoBo

    Cal.

    P.S. you tried removing all other components? Modems are great at doing that too.

    I didn't figure the PSU as it's powering the HDD/ROM drives (I think)...will double check that in a sec.
    I stripped everything out of it...'tis practically 'bare bones' :)

    Try just PSU MoBo & CPU. Any beeps?

    Looks that way. But I would feel a little happier if that rig was tested with a known good PSU.
