I'm guessing a cap exploded. The PS was shot and that was confirmed by a local PC shop. I bought a new one and installed it. Nothing happened, so I figured the motherboard took a spike also. I ordered a new motherboard, cpu and memory and installed it. As my normal procedure, I didn't plug the graphics card in, since it had onboard video. I did plug the DVD player and the front panel connections.<br>
<br>
After pushing the power button on the front panel, the fans come on, the lights light but no output on the monitor. No POST.<br>
<br>
Other than purchasing another cpu and replacing the cpu and then if that didn't fix it replace the motherboard and if that didn't fix it. Kick my self for spending more for bad parts than I could have bought a good refurb'ed unit.<br>
<br>
So any suggestions of what I might try without spending any more money? This is a Linux only box. I've weaned her off of M$.<br>
