Interesting issue regarding my comp

[Gepidae]

Hey guys, so basically my computer wont post. The odd thing is that the night before there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I was able to go into windows and do everything. So I shut down the computer for the night and the next day when I go turn on the comp, the fans spin but nothing shows up on the monitor. Before this happened though I had an error in which it said keyboard not found and please insert drive in A: (which I dont even had a floppy drive). This happened twice and I simply rebooted in which the problem was fixed previously. This time around it just wont post. I tried to reset CMOS, switch the DIMM for the ram, use 1 stick of ram and none worked.

My specs are:
2 gb ram
Abit IP35
E4550
8800 gts
500 gb seagate hd

I havent done any upgrading or tweaking with the computer since I first bought it about 7 months ago. Anyone have any solutions as to why my comp wont post?

Wont post as you cant access the BIOS or you cant get into Windows?

yes.. can u see BIOS or not at all.. the keyboard not found error tells me there is something going on with the motherboard..

Have you tried replacing the CMOS Battery on the Motherboard ? ?

Update: I replaced my 2 sticks of ram with a friend's. That worked. Apparently it was faulty ram that caused the comp to not post and by that I mean nothing would show up on the monitor.
