I have just pulled my computer out of storage after a few years. I tired booting it, but it won't come up. At first, I couldn't get the screen to come on. I pulled the power from all the harddrives and pulled out all cards. Now, the splash screen shows with the dragon logo, www.soyo.com, and KT400 DRAGON ULTRA, but it just sits there. What should I try to do?

The splash screen shows with a normal keyboard. When I tried to plug in my old logitech wireless keyboard/mouse, nothing came up on the screen. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Thank you.

Did you pull every card out and re-seat them all, like the memory and video card? Also did you try to reset the bios. If you pull the plugs from the hard drive then the system will not boot to the OS so plug them back in.
