Pull one stick of ram leaving the stick closest to the CPU in, try to boot if it still does not post swap the sticks and try again.

Ok tried that and still nothing.

**wrench97** · 10-27-2009, 02:29 PM

Pull all the ram and see if it beeps continuously when you try to boot.

a1700nadummie · 10-27-2009, 02:34 PM

No beep just fans blowing fast and hard drive still works

I would test the power supply with a volt meter or by swapping in a known good one but it's looking like a motherboard gone bad.
Test your power supply with a multi meter
