    Hello everyone,
    When I try to turn on my PC, it looks like the computer is working;
    The fans work, the light bulbs are lightning but nothing goes up on the screen (and it doesn't make the beep sound)
    I tried to switch the power supplier but it didn't help.
    But when I turn the power supplier's switch off, then turn the computer on,
    and then turn the power supplier's switch on again, and turin the computer on again, it works like nothing happened.

    What is the problem?
    Thanks.

    when does this start happening? is there a pattern to when it happens?
    does it happen when you been using it, shut down, then try power it up?
    or does it happen when not using it for a while and turning it on?
    or does it happen anytime when you shut down or not use for a long time?
    or does it do this randomly?

    also when it does have the problem do you always get power light, fans running, etc?
    also when it does have the problem i know you said you have no video but can you see the hdd light (red usually) flickering or hear the hdd like as if its loading windows?
    do you have a spare video card and/or memory you can try?
    if you have a spare try them out and disable the onboard video to see any difference.

    otherwise go in the bios and disable all onboard items such as sound, lan, serial ports, lpt ports, etc.
    disconnect all your cables except the power supply cables that go into the motherboard.
    remove all the peripheral cards if you have any. disconnect even the usb/1394 cables that go into the motherboard.
    then see if you still have the issue. all this is to isolate the issue from being anything else other than the motherboard.

    This can be a number of things, Motherboard going out , video card going bad or the power supply... You will have to narrow it down... try the Video first..
    Check your card And Monitor ... try A different Monitor.. Have you download anything New lately ?
