PC Peripherals PC won't boot

[plsoft]

A few days ago my graphic card went kaput, now i'm back to the onboard display. My PC worked for a few days but now it refuses to boot, not even to the BIOS stage. There is power in the monitor, motherboard and the CPU fan is also working.

Below is my config:

Asus M2A-VM HDMI

AMD X2 3600+

DELL 19" Wide (using DVI)

Seagate Sata 200GB

Kingston 667 1GB*2

APC 650VA

Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse

Zebronics PSU

Here are the things i've tried/check:

1. Removed all unnecessary components.

2. Removed each RAM stick and tried with one at a time.

3. Checked processor/socket for any dark spots to see if it's toasted.

4. Switched to VGA cable to see if DVI cable is the culprit.

If i can't figure out the problem by this noon/afternoon i'll have to show it to the repair guys. Please suggest anything else i need to check to figure out which component is the culprit.

Thanks in advance.

hmm. Which PSU are you using? Can you post some snapshot of your cabinet's insides so that we can take a quick look at cabling etc.

Here are the pics (I know i could have done better with cable management :blushing

first reset the BIOS by booting the PC after removing CMOS battery next to the second PCI slot. See if you get to the BIOS. Shut it off and insert the CMOS battery.

If this doesn't work, try any other PSU. It could be the culprit.

And clean your rig regularly. Dust can create a real headache sometimes.

BIOS reset doesn't work. Also, don't have another SMPS. I guess i'll go to the repair guys, thanks for your suggestions disiibond.
