I recently moved to Hawaii and packed up my computer in a box protected as well as it could be and then after unpacking it, the face to the case was smashed up pretty bad. I plugged it in and the it acts like it's powering up and then shuts down after like 3 seconds. LED on MoBo stays on indicating it's still getting power. I get no display to monitor, no beeps and no display to monitor. I have a Pentium D processor using OCz Ram and the MoBo is an Intel D945PSN. I have attemped removing the connections from all periferals and tried again, no change. Tried removing RAM and booted up with both sticks individually and still no change. I also cleared CMOS with no effect. I can turn off Power Supply and turn it on after just a few seconds and it repeats the same problem. I would try changing to a different Power Supply, but the back of case was the farthest from the apparent damage and I don't have another one. Also, the keyboard does light up during this process. I've also checked all connections to MoBo and can't see anything lose or disconnected including processor. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I was going to try resetting the processor, but it looked to be seated firmly and I don't know where I can get arctic silver here. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks so much.
