Its either Board, CPU, RAM, Gfx Card, Sound Card, Modem or USB thats the problem

Its either board cpu or psu, although it may very well come down to the motherboard saying that without testing the other 2 is just a guess.

I'd probably say it's the motherboard.

I have essientally.
I removed the hard drive, and there is nothing else, nothing in any PCI slots, everything is onboard.

right, so just to get things straight in my head... to try (in this order):

New Processor (although there is no bleep.

If that makes no difference, try a different mobo. (i didnt wanna do this, cos it might get a bit messy, but i think it might end up being that.)

Aslong as your other components can support it, its worth a go.

Depends on the motherboard. I've known processors to die, and all you get is the symptoms above...

If it doesnt work with the bare minimum components, your motherboard is foobard.

Switch the PC on see if it does the POST (Power on Self test). If it does, put in the HDD and try again, then add in all other components until the PC doesnt boot, then you know whats faulty.

how do you mean mate?

i guess i could try a different PSU, the only thing i havent tried yet.
But surely it should fire up the standard graphics card then?

Okay,

I would strip the mobo.

Try a different power supply with:

CPU
RAM

Hmm, is it Hot straight away after powering up?

Tried a new PSU? There might not be enough power to run the graphics card.

Ive been given a PC to look at which doesnt seem to want to boot/enable monitor.
The PC turns on, but nothing comes up on the screen. I know its not the monitor as ive tried different working monitors.

SO i thought next, maybe its the standard monitor output broke on the back of the mobo, so i tried a AGP graphics card... nothing, blank screen (no signal).
I also had a working PCI graphics card, i thought this would sure to work, but nothing, i power on the PC and blank screen.

Ive tried swapping the RAM out with mine, moving the RAM in a different slot, and thats made no difference.

Im not 100% sure if its a display issue or the PC isnt actually even firing up? i cant get into bios or anything.
Ive tried resetting the bios by removing the battery, no difference.

Tried a new hard drive... no difference.

Does anyone have any other ideas of what i can do/try?

The PC isnt more than 2 years old, i think its made from HP, and nothing inside seems to be out of the ordinary.
