For whatever reason, my computer today has decided not to boot up (it was fine last night). Usually I push the power button, all the fans/hd's/drives start up with the gfx card fan throttling down to a barely audible hum.

But its not. Its going full pelt, and the whole thing isn't booting up. No matter what what I try it just doesn't want to know! What could the problem beeeee?

Have you moved it or given it a bump recently? Could be something come loose or needs to be reseated. How old is the Antec?

No bumps - it was working last night and it hasn't moved since then! The Antec is about 4 months old tops.
 
I left it a few days, changed the monitor output to the second Digital one and its now at least starting to boot.

The problem now is that it only gets to "Chipset Model" before it freezes and does nothing. Any ideas?
 
I've reset the CMOS - pressed DEL to set it back up and it just freezes... Ideas?

EDIT: I don't need to press anything - just leave it a few sections and it freezes. heeelp!

Right. It still freezes 2 seconds into boot. It isn't the monitor, and it isn't excess power drain or whatever. I don't have a spare PCI Express gfx card so can't change that... any ideas what else I could change... the only spare PS is a Q-tec......
 
Noop not the memory. Just changed it all round and same problem. Freeze after 2 seconds.
