Maybe something is dead. Could be Mobo, cpu, Ram, or video card. Try a different video card. Try differnt RAM. Try different CPU. if you still can't get it working, your montherboard may be dead.


Did it beep at all when it tries to POST?

What kind of mobo?

Does sound like a hardware issue. It wouldn't hurt to reset the BIOS.
