On boot , no beeps, no signal to monitor.
Tried monitor on other PC=> OK,
----- Video Card on other PC => OK,
----- Power supply on other PC => OK,
----- Ram on other PC => OK,
Reset CMOS => boot failure.

After a couple days, PC boots. Upgrade bios, every thing is fine for a couple of weeks.

Then will not boot again, after a couple days, it starts all over again.!!!!!!!

- Motherboard: EPOX KT-133M
- CPU: AMD Duron 800
- RAM: 2566mb
- Video Card: ASUS GeForce 32mb
- OS: XP

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Part 2:

I changed the power supply(brand new), failed.

I am leaning towards the CPU or the motherboard, if only because it does the same thing, when one boots a computer without a CPU.
