ok well thanks guys for the help here. i really appreciate it. my PC is working now well, not entirely. turns out the motherbord was bad so i replaced it and then found out that my graphics card is also bad. so i'll need to replace them. im debating between the 9800 GX2 or the 260 GTX which is...

no beeps.... and whats CMOS? and how do you clear it?

ok well i finally got a chance to do some work on my PC now. i got a new motherbord. ASUS P5Q - pro. installed it and when i hit the start button the lights and case fans go on. this is somewhat of an improvement from before because when i would hit the power button nothing would happen, and now...

ok well bad news, i got a new psu and plugged it in and still nothing. the led on my mobo is on but nothing happens when i press the power button. now im begining to think its my power switch connector. i tried to jump stasrt it with a screw driver but that did nothing. any ideas?

ok well i already bought a new psu and will test it tonight. luckiliy my brother is building a new pc so im testing out his PSU.

ok here is an update: i tried BadBigBen's tip and held the power button down for a minute or more with the PSU power cable unpluged. after a minute i plugged it back in and when i hit the power switch my case lights and fans went on for about 2 to 3 seconds before turning off. now its back to...

ok thanks eveyone for the replies and tips. i wont be able to get another psu till next week so i guess i'll try the other steps G0AOZ and BadBigBen mentioned. and the when i get another psu i'll try that.

thanks guys for the replies. i didnt check all the parts to make sure that they were in properly but i will do that now.

sorry for the double post, but i couldnt find a edit button on this page. but i went back today and checked my PC and it wont turn on at all. not even if i hold down the power button. but the green light on my mobo is on.... so is it the PSU?

hi, my computer just started having this problem where it wont boot. if i hold down the power switch then then the power comes on and my case fans and lights turn on, but the PC doesnt boot. and if i let go of the button then it turns off. its weird because it was working real well about an hour...
