specs:

Shuttle XPC SN95G V3 motherboard, case, 250W PS
AMD 3200+ 64bit
2 x 1GB DDR RAM
Asus 128 MB Ti3200 AGP video card
WD 1 TB SATA hard drive

I built the computer back in 2005, the only thing upgraded was the RAM and hard drive a few months ago. Last Friday, I left my computer on while I went to work. I found it out that I couldn't VNC from work since it said the computer was offline. I came back home, the power was on but nothing would respond. I tried to restart the computer, but I head no beeps or anything. I removed the video card and RAM and tried to power on, but no beeps.

What can I do next to find out what component is wrong? Do you think my motherboard, CPU, or power supply is dead?

Please help. Thanks.

Well with no beeps it could be either motherboard or a power issue. Try a new PSU. if that doesn't do it then there is a good chance the motherboard is bad. 5 years is pretty good. Time for a new build.
