I came home from work and tried to get on my computer today with no success. It was on, all fans including cpu fan were running, but screen was black. I turned it off, then back on, but only fans were running and the onlyindicator lights that were on was the cd drive light and it seemed like it was flashing a code. No signal was received by the monitor. I have a power supply test box and it indicates the ps is good and producing all requied voltages..by the way the ps is only 6 months old if that really matters. I then tried starting up with my memory sticks removed and used individually one at a time with no success. Next I tried with all memory removed...stystem powered up, but no beeps or lights.
Tried different video card, no luck.
any suggestions? Dead motherboard?

I tried the bios reset with no success. All the system will do is power on, fans spin up, and what is weird to me...the cd drive light continually flashes what looks like a code of 24. The only difference I seem to be able to make is by removing the memory, this stops the cd light from flashing but nothing else happens...no beeps or anything.

Thanks for replying. I tried the single stick securely installed in one slot, then again with it in the other slot just to see...both actions with the same result. Sytem powers on, fans spin up, cd drive light flashing, and nothing else.
