Posting from iPhone so please bear with me,
Was playing WOW and screen froze and sound looped so restarted,
Started playing WOW again for an hour and was fine,
Then it crashed again but this time I had a green digitalised screen then it turned off after 30 secs,
So I left It for an hour and started pc up again,
This time pc won't show boot screen or load into windows at all,
I know that it's not booting into windows causes my G15 don't show the time and date,
Pc spec
Q9950 3gig quad extreme
8gig ram
Nvidia 9800 gx2 BFG
Asus striker 2 extreme
Win 7 ultImate

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Unplug your computer from the socket. Turn off the power supply. Reset your CMOS using either a Jumper or taking out the battery. Connect everything up again, turn back on. Let us know how that goes.
 
Remove your 9800gx2 replace it with whatever graphics card you got as backup.
How many sticks of RAM you got? Only use one stick.
Does any of the fans work at all? esp. the psu fan.

All fans working, haven't got a spare card though,
Everything sounds normal I.e the fans speed up after 5 seconds Of switch on,
Also the HDD light is flashing,
If the gx2 is faulty would that stop the pc from booting windows?

I wouldn't have thought the graphics card would stop the PC booting to Windows, although it does explain your blank screen.

Check the LEDs on your motherboard as it's trying to boot. Might help identify where the problem is.
 
try your ram, 1 stick at a time in each different ram slot. if you find it booting with 1 stick but not the other that will point towards ram being the problem
 
Make sure your monitor is working ok.
Plug it to a diff. pc, dvd whatever to make sure its fine.
You should really keep spares for troubleshooting purposes.
 
also strip the pc back down to its bare essentials, cpu ram (1 stick) 1 hdd with os on (if you've more than 1 hdd)

your mobo doesnt have onboard graphics, is it possible to beg borrow or steal a gpu from a friend to try in your system. also, if you, can try your gpu in another system

Yh I know someone with a gpu I can borrow I'll see if that happens,
With I would have ordered the gigabyte now instead of holding Off just so I could have gone out lol
 
have you tried stripping the pc down to its barebones, with just the minimum needed to post. i'd even remove keyboard and mouse, soundcard. basically everything thats not needed
