Computer will not boot or spin up drive

by gbxtr . Updated 22 years, 12 months ago

When powered on, the power supply fan comes on, as does the proccessor fan.

No led’s come on, and the mother board does not beep/show power light. The monitor does not come on to show the BIOS booting. The CDRom is not operational, and the hard drive does not spin up.

To add confusion, after being powered off, I un attached the IDE cables to the drives and powered back on. The hard drive came to life as did the CDRom. Still no monitor life, or light/beep on the mother board. I have checked the voltage on the power supply and it seems to be correct.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? PC was working a few days ago.

Thanks in advance, Greg
