I was using my computer normally then it just froze and the speakers made a small and brief crackling noise. I tried to restart the computer and all that happens is the light comes on to indicate that it does have power and I can get my cd and dvd drives to come out and go back in but thats as far as it goes no beeps or any kind of video and I do know that my monitor is working properly. Any help or suggestions of where to even start looking for a problem would be great. Also I have not added or changed any hardware or changed anythign on the computer at all

Weird. No display could mean one or more of the following:
- Your video card is dead
- Your BIOS is dead
- The power supply is toast
- Your connections are loose

If you have the means to do so, test each on of these to determine the problem.
