I'm saying go buy another computer, they are cheap enough.
You must have gotten a job by now.... ::)

This advice was so idiotic the first time you offered it that I didn't think you were serious. Please stop talking.

Hes either cheap or needs attention.
I figure the latter.

My computer's only about 1.5 years old and it's all quality parts which were, as I mentioned, working perfectly befor I stored them.

Yeah, the advice is idiotic. And the added eye roll, like, duh . . . when your computer stops working you just buy a new one, adds hilarity to the idiocy. It's like someone posting about a part going bad on their Harley rendering it inoperable and giving them advice to just buy a Yamaha scooter because they're so inexpensive. Stupidity. Hell, even if my current machine and the chintzy one ark linked to were similar in horsepower (they're not), I'd still prefer to get mine going then to get a barebones one, install an OS, configure everything, install Office and the Creative Suite and a dozen other apps just to get it basically functioning.

Unless the the harddrive in your computer is shot... then you'll be doing all that anyway.

JUST STFU PLEASE.
In the other hand, i had the same problem as you do more then 10 times, and all of them where bad power supplys, so before paying 50 bucks or more to someone , ill say you can buy a cheap power supply. I bet thats going to be your problem.

A dead hard drive won't prevent a computer from posting. So if that ends up being the case it will be coincidental.
