Working on a problem with a computer I built my dad. It was working fine for about 6 mos. It started acting up by giving an error message that it couldn't find the hard drive. Then it would boot after about 6-7 reboots. Then the hard drive started clicking and we got a black screen with no boot up. I changed the hard disk thinking that it was bad but still a black screen. I then cleared the CMOS and later changed the battery and still the black screen. I am getting power to the fans and the power led light comes on but it won't go any further such as looking for the A drive. Any suggestions? I think I need to try changing the CPU with a spare I have. The system is old it is an Asus P5a-b motherboard, amd 450+ CPU, with 256 mb PC 100 ram.
Forgot to add that when I boot there are no beeps which is strange.
