I wanted to know how to identfy the problem with the system. Th system worked fine till late evening yestrday but today moring its...... alive/dead?

When the system is powered on the is no Beep sound (single), or POST is not done. I do not get anything on the display neither the Keyboard or the Mouse respond.

The CPU fan is running, the hard disk activity too is there as i can hear the HDD head coming to a halt when i long press the power button for shutdown.

I use a USB speaker setup as its a D/L rig, it too is powered on.

As a basic step i removed my Ram and cleaned the contacts with a cloth and cleaned the slots on the motherboard and plugged it in and still no response.

The motherboard too has a VGA pin, i tried powering it through this, no luck

SYS config:

Intel P4 1.8Ghz,

Jetway P4M266 (Socket 478)

Transcend DDR 400Mhz

Generic 315Watt PSU

Segate 40GB, WD 250GB IDE

XFX 6200 AGP 8X

Any help from you would be appreciated... TIA!

#ALPHA17, thank you for your help.

The culprit was my XFX 6200 GFX, It gave up... I pulled it out and tried booting the system with te onboard VGA, voila it worked, my desktop is up and running. Thank you for your help once again!

Th problem is solved fellow TEians!

You know where to find help, when it goes BOINK again.
