Argh! Got computer from storage and it's not working
404:
you're problem is, you stored it in Miami. Damn i hate this city. :laugh2:
All jokes (and flames) aside. Let's go through a checklist just to clear the air here.
* make sure you have no blown components. Look for the obvious, blown or bloated capacitors, any burn marks on the board etc
* remove all unnecessary peripherals like dvd drives. If your board supports on board graphics, remove your graphics card and try that
* Unseat the processor. If its an intel processor look closely to see if the motherboard has any dislocated pins. AMD units, look at the processor to see if you have any bent or warped pins. If you have a large heatpipe based cooler, you probably should have removed it before transporting. the weight and height of them can sometimes warp processor ports and even warp your motherboard if you have a weak motherboard supporting backplate.
* remove your processor and turn on the pc without it in the socket. It sounds crazy but some motherboards generally won't even turn on without the processor completing the circuit. This may indicate that its something else besides your processor.
* remove all of your ram insert one stick at a time into the first dimm slot only and see if you can post that way.

That comment above sure sounded stupid.
Comparing Harleys to PCs now... ::)
