I was getting some BSOD about hardware, so i turned my computer off. When i turned it back on, i got nothing on screen. My computer boots up but i don't see anything on my monitor. the lights on the keyboard don't light up either. I took this computer to another monitor, keyboard and it's the same thing. btw, no beeps when i boot up either. so is my mb, cpu or is it something else. IT's a SHUTTLE AV61 mb w/ a PIII 650 processor w/ 512mb ram. i guess i'll have to buy a new cpu/mb/ram.

try clearing the CMOS first

if that doesnt fix it then try reseating the videocard, ram, cpu

if that still doesnt fix it, hehe then its time to unhook everything from the motherboard and install different (known working) cpu/videocard/ram

if that still doesnt fix it, then yup its probably a bad motherboard
