So, yesterday I started up my computer and my BIOS gave a strange message, something about autoloading BIOS defaults or something (this was after an accidental power down, it wasn't a clean shut down from Windows). Well, ever since it did that, it won't get through the POST anymore. All my system fans come on, but my CPU fan does not come on and nothing comes to the monitor. I can't judge what the POST results are because my newer case doesn't come with a built-in speaker (thanks guys), so I can't hear any beeps.
I tried clearing the CMOS by removing the battery but to no avail. I want to say that I've run into this problem before and it just kinda fixed itself after a few tries to turn on the PC, but right now I'm not having that same luck.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I don't think any of my hardware is faulty since it booted up just fine before giving me that weird BIOS message. I've tried only 1 stick of RAM instead of both, I've tried removing both, I've tried no vid card, but always the same result.
