Sometimes, during the cleaning process (especially on really dirty systems that require a paintbrush for the real grime), a plastic jumper can be knocked loose - or a cable can be loosened up just enough to prevent the machine from powering up. It sounds like a power or monitor signal problem to me. Unplug the machine . . . Get out your mobo manual and find out where the CMOS/Bios jumper is located. If you knocked off the jumper by accident, then the machine won't turn on. Replacing it on the proper pins (normally 1 & 2) should take care of that. Is your monitor cable securely attached to the jack in the back of the computer? If that cable is just loose enough - the monitor won't give you anything on the screen, even if the machine powers up. As crazy as it may sound - have you checked the connection to your power cable? Although none of us like to admit it, we do make stupid mistakes on occassion. Just the other day I forgot to plug a power cable into my hard disk which was so ridiculous that it actually took me 5 minutes before I noticed it. Speaking of power cables . . . Check all of the red/yellow/black connections to your drives and make sure that one is plugged into each of them. Remember, a cable can prevent things from running properly, just by being loose - and not off completely. Post back here, and let us know if you got it going again. Hey Intel, AMD rulez!

pull out all cards and unplug all drives from the mobo. everything except 4 the power cable from the mobo, the speaker, and the and cpu and (keep the fans plugd in!) and see if you hear a beep.
