hello, i don't know what happened but it just happened suddenly, i tried to turn on my comp and it had power but no screen. i have a P4T-F motherboard, and ive tried practially everything (taking all the ram out and only leaving 1 in, changing the video card, taking out all the cards in it only leaving the video card, unpluging the floppy and hdd) and nothing worked. The only thing that i havent tried are, taking the CPU out and installing it onto another motherboard. i hope you can help me. thanks

Other possibilities: Failed powersupply (just because part of your system has power does not mean all of it does) Failed CPU fan. (Some modern motherboards will not power-up if the CPU fan fails
Do you get any POST beeps? Any other fans spinning?

I know it sounds obvious, but have you tried a different monitor?
