    Sounds like a dead motherboard. Check for bios beeps.

    does not beep at all. floppy does not start either. i updated the bios a day before but rebooted a good few times since then with no problem. i think the pc got stuck on the windows loading screen before the current problem started. i had to hold the power button to turn off the pc.

    Try a different psu if you have one lying around.

    the psu fan starts and a mobo led along with lan led light up when powered on. the cd-rom drive powers up only if i disconnect the ide cable from the motherboard . no noise out of the floppy at all. still nothing on the screen though.
