Help! Computer does not load.

[dreamachines]

When I boot up my computer I can hear that everything is booting but I don't get any signal to my monitor. My floppy does not boot. I have tried to another video card but still no signal. I have: Abit KT7-RAID: AMD Thunderbird 1.1GHZ: Crucial 256MB 100 MHZ CAS 2: IBM 30GB ATA100 7200RPM: Hercules Geforce2 Pro...

Erm......Try pulling out your RAM and place it back. Or try resetting the bios or erm......Assemble everything again and make sure that the MOBO is supported with washers so that it does not make any contacts with the casing.

I dunno what you mean by "can hear everything boot", but I've expierenced where the MoBo will short out on the case and not boot(or lock-up, reboot, etc.), but everything will power-up. I agree with pillage. Try re-assembling it. If it still doesn't work, try it with the MoBo OUT of the case. But, be very careful what you have it sitting on!!! Note: this is a pain in the ass, since getting the power supply and drives connected while it's out of the case, and at the same time keeping it off anything conductive, is tricky at the least.

throw in another video card and disconnect your floppy. See if you can get anything on the screen. I have had problems like this before but I forgot how I fixed them.
