Neither is the problem,...rechecked and replaced all cables,...also tried 3 different power supplys. I'm thinking is the cpu or board. They are both brand new though. could be the board cause normally if you turn the board on without ram in it will beep or board lights will flash, I'm getting neither. the board lights up like its running normal? Don't get it!
even something as small as a faulty power lead or a faulty fan i noticed you said that the fan was not running as fast as it used to and the power light on lcd on front of computer is not working trace all of these leads and make sure each connection is secure even the electrical extensions and you said you replaced the leads from motherboard to the hard drive with new ones also make sure they are seated properly like i said earlier a computer needs to complete its cycle and to have an end to work so any faulty lead will end in computer error

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan
is not working your PSU is faulty One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or
to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including
electrical extensions,IDE,SATA the leads from your
"((motherboard to your hard drive))" make sure they have a secure connection and
are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty
make sure all leads that
are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections
and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could
be faulty a computer
needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads
will end up with a computer error hope this helps

ok,..i tried everything you suggested ...It must have been a loose cable or something. It did start up for a bit but then I was getting a cmos battery error. So in the midst of trying to fix that (resetting cmos and what not) I tried turning it back on and got the same problem. I took the whole thing apart, tested the motherboard and put it back together but still having the same problems. I tried switching out PSU and same thing, tried changing cables and samething.....im at a loss! HELP! :)
