Hi all I have been given a slot1 celeron pc that does not boot. The power
comes on the case fan starts, the processor fan starts and the hard drive
spins up but I get no output on the monitor. I have removed all pci cards as
well as testing without the video card and changing the memory around in
different slots.
There are no beeps at all from the board.
Would you think that this would be a dead processor or motherboard or
something else.
Any help appreciated.

Remove the ram and or the video card and see if it beeps then.
If not, then make sure the motherboard isn't being shorted out by a mis-
placed stand off.

If it's not that, then you have a 50-50 chance it's either the CPU or MoBo
that's bad, [or both].

It is possible you disabled your video card in the CMOS? I did this last
week, and just got blank screens at boot up. I fixed the problem by
holding down the END key when I booted, this restored all CMOS settings
to some form of "factory defaults." I then had to set everything again.
Not one of better days, but at least I got it to recognize the new drive
