Hi! Today my computer freezed totally and speakers made strange sounds. Now the computer won't even boot properly. Only the fans spin and I don't get any picture. I cleared CMOS by removing battery but that didn't help. Is there anything I can do? The cpu has been overcloked for over an year and couple of days ago it was orthos 12h stable with temps hitting 58-59C.

I agree with muppet, I had a similar problem - power suppyly went when playing a game, the screen froze and I got a high pitched speaker noise. Check the power socket on the motherboard and the power cord that plugs into it from the psu, mine was black and melted 
The strangest thing just happened. I was about to test the ram sticks separately and I took one already off but then I decided to try one more time and I put the stick back in. And guess what it booted properly. Any ideas what the problem is/was? I have one broken fan which hardly spins could it cause this?

It isn't intake fan but you are tight I should replace it. I left computer on and it had freezed(no picture in the monitor). This has happened also before couple of times. This time I hadn't even overclocked CPU. Any ideas what's the cause of these problems?

When you originally had the problem did you turn the PC off at the mains for a 30 seconds and retry?
Sometimes the PSU can go funny and it will only work properly when you've killed it at the wall and then switch on again.
