i just fixed my pc today sorta cus of the same problem. My graphics card had blown and that was the reason my pc would not beep or bring up anything on the monitor, so maybe you could try a change of gfx card.

When you were fitting the parts inside the computer did you use any protection for static ?

i would do but this comupter has an AGP slot and the one i have built has only PCI and PCI-E, along with an intel processor and the one i have built is AMD, so im a bit stumped. :undecided:

the cpu fan works, not too sure about the CPU, as far as i know it is booting up properly, but there is not the usual beep to tell me that the core parts are working....

yes and no, i used static bags to rest parts on, touched an earthed thing every 15mins and felt no static shocks, but didnt use one of those special anti-static bands: after reading many discussions on it i decided not to, but to atleast enforce some protection.

Im pretty sure it will be your gfx like i said in my last post because i had exactly the same symptoms and it ended up being the gfx card

hmm, well i have a 64 X2: these arent supported on the earlier bios versions, so just to be sure its not just the bios, im gonna try and find a way of upgrading the bios without changing any parts, then i'll prbably try a new graphics card and then the processor... but im still stumped of how to upgrade the bios...
