    no POST beeps

    When the computer is plugged in, does it turn on by itself, or do you need to hit the power button? If it does turn on by itself, can you turn it off using the power button? Sounds like the motherboard or processor.

    Computer powers up but wont POST

    Sounds like a PSU issue. I had the same problem; no POST but fans would be running and LEDs would be on. I would just hit the reset button and it would be fine for a few days then do the same. After a few months of doing that, the "hibernation state" would happen more frequently. Finally it got...

    windows didn't recognize my slave drive....

    -Have you tried putting the drive in another machine to see if it would recognize it? -Have you tried running Maxtor's MaxBlast software? It would wipe out any data on the drive you are trying to setup so only try it as a last resort.
