Hi,

Narrow it clear down. Remove all components except:

The motherboard
ATX Power connector
12 volt square molex connected to the motherboard
Heatsink and Fan on CPU with fan plugged into motherboard
One stick of ram as specified in your manual. (the slot is important)
The video card in the slot w/ power connector (if one) connected to it.
Monitor
Keyboard and mouse
On/off wires connected to front panel header

Nothing else connected including:

No drives of any kind
No PCI cards of any kind
No cables except as specified earlier
No wires on front panel header except the off/on as notes earlier

Try it and see what happens. If that does not make it come up, then take away the keyboard and mouse and try it.

If you get nowhere, take out in addition the Video card and monitor.

If that does not give results, take out all memory and see if it beeps you.

That should narrow it down quite a bit...............report back. Oh, how old is your power supply? Do you have another you could try?
