Hi all

I need help.
My Pc has just died !!
As I was working on it as usual and it crashed.(not playing any games) Now it refuses to start up.
I can try to power up but I don't get through post. Graphics card fan spins like mad as usual when posting but keeps spinning. CPU fan starts for a second then stops. There is no signal gets through on the screen so I cant get into Bios. I have also tried to resetting Cmos but still nothing. I have also tried removing all parts not needed, still nothing.
Any ideas what's went wrong???

Now by removing the sound card and graphics card, ram and and then replacing them all I can now get it to boot.
Put all the settings back in Bios but now it wont boot any further than the WindowsXP welcome screen. I didn't put in any over clocking settings.

Thanks all
I've got it running now on one stick off Ram only. So I guess one is Faulty.
Now I've got problems with my Raid0 set up so I'm franticly backing up all data.

Thanks guys

Replaced the stick of Ram and ran Memtest86 3.3. There were more errors than I could count. Removed the stick, ran Memtest again with the one stick and no errors.
I guess I need to find some new Ram.
