Hey guys, my computer died on me last night.
 : Not sure quite what's wrong with it. I left for uni in the morning, turning it off as I went out the door, and when I got home, it wouldn't turn on properly. The LED on the mobo's on, and when I turn on the PC, the fans all spin up. However, after this, nothing much happens. My screen doesn't flicker to life, just sits there on standby (I've tried turning it off and on, and it still doesn't display an image), the mouse doesn't light up, and one of the lock-key status lights on my keyboard turns on, as usual, but hitting them doesn't actually change them. I've checked all the wires from the PSU, they're all in tight, I've tried unplugging my fans, case lights, and all drives bar my system drive, still nothing. I tried removing and reseating the RAM. I haven't checked to see if my internal speaker's plugged in yet, because I'd have to find the damn thing (not sure if I even have one) so I'm not sure if it's giving me beep codes yet. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts.

leave the power cord out for a while, check for geckos in PSU/mobo, check CPU and fan.
or just do a rebuild if no good you might have cooked something

Sounds like your video card or motherboard, is the video card an on board card or can you swap it over with another one, even try reseating it. Good luck.

Argh. Bugger. I'll try reseating the video card tonight. If that doesn't work, I'll try swapping it out when i get home. I just hope I don't end up having to buy another one (7800 GTX... not cheap)

The fact that the mouse doesn't fire up sounds like it could be the Motherboard to me.....could be the video card (unlikely though), have you tried another monitor just to rule it out?
