My computer will not turn on. No Bios Screen. CPU Fan not running. Power to MoBo confirmed by PCI LAN card light flashing when the Reset or Power button is depressed. Yesterday this same problem occured, but the computer started after a few minutes. There is no way that the Slot 1 CPU card is too hot, it never came on...
Could this be a fried MoBo?
The Power source fan is working and the Hard drive spins up, the CD-ROM spins a bit, but the Bios doesn't start up.. If you have anything for me to try, please reply.
Thanks, dc_esquire

Try Reseting/Clearing the CMOS with a jumper on the system board or just pull the Battery for a while.

try and pull out your memory and after the machine sits for about 1 min (not on) reinsert your memory modules again and boot up see if that helps.

Your CPU is defenitely fried it happened to me when I forgot to plug in my CPU fan. It cooked my CPU within seconds and destroyed my motherboard.
