make sure the memory is correct for the motherboard...if you are not getting beep codes then it is probably a problem on the board, with the memory, or with the CPU. remove all memory but 1 dimm and then start it up. sometimes it matters which memory banks are populated, so make sure you have that correct... my guess is definately memory or cpu. good luck.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the memory.

Thanks for the help everyone. The problem ended up being a faulty CDRW. I put in another CDROM and everything ended up working out fine. I'm actually using the new comp now. Finally, after 3 long months...(long story)

faulty cdrw - got one of those too! maybe we have the same one? it caused all sorts of issues about a month ago.

glad things are working again!
