    i recently booted up my pc and nothing happened. tried restarting and power cycling multiple times still nothing just black screen. my cpu fan is working and it is powered through motherboard and all other fans, hard drives, are powering up. I replaced my power supply with a brand new 600 watt model and still get the same problem. anybody have any suggestions?

    battery won't do that. disconnect all cables to drives. remove all cards & ram except video card & 1 stick of ram, reseat those 2. reseat power connector(s) to motherboard. try clearing the cmos as found that sometimes kicks start a system.

    they are all flat. the speaker runs off of the mother board, do you think it's logical to say that since i dont hear any beeps that particular portion of the board may be damaged?
