PC Wont boot

by jimklallsoo . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Hi there,

A PC i am working on appears to power on you hear the fan from the power supply chunter away making the usual noise. However, on the monitor of the PC nothing appears on the monitor no error text, no nothing. The monitor simply has the usual green flashing light insstructing me it is receiving power.

I can push the num lock key on the keyboard and the lights turns green.
Please note: This is wether i have RAM removed from the PC altogether or inserted.
With RAM removed from the Pc i receive no beeps.
with RAM inserted into the PC i receive no beeps.

The Pc’s power supply has no on/off switch the only on/off switch is at the front of the PC. So i need to plug in the power cable and the PC appears to boot but as i say i get no visual display on screen just a black screen. If i try to turn the PC off with the power button on the front of the PC it doesn’t reboot i need to physically remove the power cable.

I have tried new RAM. Makes no difference
I have tried new monitor. Makes no difference.
I have tried new power supply. No difference.

PC also does not boot from Win98 boot disk even though i know i had it set too boot from A,D,C previously.

I believe it may be bad CPU or MOBO.

Can anyone let me know if in their opinion they think it is CPU or MOBO
