Have you tried your computer with a different monitor or switched out any componets? Or even tried your computer with just the computer and monitor. That means no mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc (assuming your compy will boot w/o keyboard). Also, [and i know this sounds ridiculous] is your mouse plugged directly into a USB port by chance? I just barely got my computer "working" after it wouldn't boot into the OS. Turned out that (for some reason) it wasn't booting because my mouse was plugged into USB. I just got a USB-PS2 adapter on it and it works fine now... Anyhow, just a thought. It'd be helpful if you could post the brand and specs of RAM, Power supply, etc that you might happen to know along with anything you may have tried so far. Thanks, and I hope this helps at least a little :ohah:
