Hi my pc has stopped working help me work out which bit

I ha badly fitted NB cooler other day, upon refitting MB I lost my IDE ports, so today a sata dvdr arrived pluged in all ok.

A few hours later I reboot and it wont start, I get to bios then it becomes unresponsive in bios, and finally wont start my x1800xt fans spins up at max rpm i can hear the HD's spin up i have power to dvdr

where my lan cable goes in I no longer have a light

IS IT MY motherboard , I what to order asap as the pc I'm typing on is PII 233 and is dead slow and no optical media !
 
take out as much as you can and see if it boots, if it does slowly put stuff back in until it fails again, then you will know whats causing the problem
 
yer but do u reckon it mb

I have tried booting to bios with all drives unplugged and 1 stick of ram thats about as stipped down as I can go.

the light used to flash notifying network activity at the lan port on back .


only wanna but MB if I have too, recently bought opty 165 !
 
so this is trying it with all peripherals disconnected aswell (inc lan etc) try that but so far it does sound mobo oriented. if you try it without any ram it should beep 8 times which would be good to show it actually responds.
 
yer no ram = nothing no beeps, have sourced a replacment mb sam model off an auction site at least that way I wont need to reinstall will I
 
ok , i removed mb and laid it on top of cardboard box, I can tell it booted a little further as my x1800 normal spins 100% then drops back as it boots up !

Oh yes I cry and begin to put back into case

once back in case it wont boot!

so i will have to wai tuntill replacment

grrrrr
