I had a CUSL-2 running a P3 700 at 959Mhz before this in an Antec SX830 running 6 HDs, one CDRW, one scsi cdrom, a zip drive and all PCI slots filled, 5 80mm fans, and a Global Win CPU cooler.

One day, I came home to find my monitor blank and realized after booting, my pc did not post. No Bios info, no memory count. Nothing. Even after I shut off the power, it didn't do anything. After some members suggested that I could of overloaded my PS or that my mobo had fried. So fine, I decided that it was time for an upgrade.

I picked up an Antec TruePower 420, a ECS K7S5A with the tbred 2100+, and a thermalright SK7 to boot. I put my old ram onto the new mobo. I have two sticks of Crucial SDRAM. Ok so I go to power it up and same crap happens! The screen comes up blank. No bios, no info nothhing.

I thought maybe it was my monitor. I plugged my lappie into it and it worked fine. Next I subbed out my Geforce Ti500 with my old Gladiac GTS and still the same thing happened. I pulled out everything out of the slots and left only one HD and the Ti500 and booted it. Same thing again. I then yanked out my ram and switched them. No help. Then I used one stick by itself, changed slots, then tried the other stick by itself, and then switched its slot - still nothing.

I am at my wits end. Can someone out there help me? I can't think of what else may be the issue. Thanks for any help!!!

i swear that i'd fried something one day, since the thing wouldn't even power on... and sure enough i had, it was the fuse in the outlet.

Need more info. Do lights come on? Fans turn? Or is it completely dead?

Is the speaker hooked up? Any beeps when you turn it on?

Have you tried it with the MB out of the case, i.e., not mounted in the case?

Quick thing to try: Remove the CMOS battery for a couple hours and clear the CMOS with the motherboard jumper.
