Hey again everyone... Ok here is my new problem: I took the CPU fan out of my Grandads Computer yesterday and replaced it with a new one. Now the monitor isn't coming on at all. I have tried putting his old fan back in, clearing the CMOS and i took the CMOS battery out for 30mins but it still doesnt work. Please could anyone help???

Hardware:

CPU = AMD Duron 1600 (with heatsink and grease)
MOBO = PCChips SKTA
HDD = 30GB
MEMORY = 320MB
GRAPHICS = ATI RADEON 9200 256MB

The ATI card may not be seated in the socket.

Remove the ATI card and then plug it back in.

Don't forget to remove the monitor cable and re-attach it when the card is back in.

Hey man, thanks for your help but i found the solution. All it was, the IDE cable to the hard drive somehow managed to get put in the wrong way, someone must have been fiddling with it. Anyway i put it in correctly and the monitor turned on, cheers
