Just wondering if somebody can help me figure out what the problem with my comp is. when i power it on, everything gets power but i dont hear the normal beeps on startup. Also it doesnt even turn my monitor on. Any advice would be appreciated.

Pull the RAM out and see if you get any beeps. If so, your mb and cpu should be ok. You can proceed with removing everything else and adding each component one at a time and find out where the failure is. If you don't get the beep codes, your mb or cpu is probably bad. Possibly power supply, but in my experience it's the mb.

i pulled the ram out and still no beeps. Everything has power, the fans are all running, floppy drives open up, but the monitor does not turn on. Is there a way to determine if its the motherboard or cpu?
