When I press the go button fan starts up lights light up But no hdd movement and no boot sequence it just plays possum apart from cpu fan nothing happens wot do i do
Here was the fix for me. The machine refuses to boot if the video card is not functioning. It should have one long beep however to tell you that there is a video problem. Someone hooked up our speaker incorrectly though! So we got no beeps. Once the speaker was hooked up and the video card was replaced, all is well!
I have the exact the same problem here. I checked my battery and it is ok. I think it may be the onboard videocard that fried because my monitor hadnt a connection to ground earlyer.
Same problem here. The CPU-fan, fan on the videocard and the fan of the power supply run immediatly when the power supply is turned on. No beeps, no display. Nothing happens when the reset button or the power button is pressed. I found out the HDD, CD and DVD start up when disconnected from the mobo. If connected to the mobo neither one starts up. I replaced the battery with the one from my calculator. (calculator works with both batteries). I tried a different power supply with the same result. Any ideas?
Are you hearing any beeps, or can you get into the bios, to check that it is recognising your harddrives. Secondly check cmos battery it may be flat. It may also be halting on all errors, you can turn this off by entering the bios(press F2 or DEL on start up) then entering the 'standard cmos features' or settings; then dissable 'Halt on all errors'. This will then show on the start up what the problem is. All this is of course if you can get as far as the bios menu. If there are 2 beeps which says memory ok, setting ok, then the CPU has died. One beep means normally memory problem, but you will have to check beep codes with your motherboard.

I have the same problem. When I start the computer, fans start but system does not boot up. Took the cover off and noticed that the CPU fan is not running. It looks like all peripheros, including, HDD, attached to the motherboard are not functioning. What can I do?
Same problem, happened over Christmas break. Machine will not go into BIOS, sounds like hard drives are spinning up but not being accessed. I'm going to try the CMOS battery as suggested here and we'll see.
I'm having the same problem too. I turn on the pc and the cpu fan comes on, lights comes on, but the HD is definitely not being accessed. I thought maybe it was a bad power supply, or possibly bad memory modules(I have 4 extras and I know they work). This is seriously frustrating
the proc fan works the pwr fan works and the case fan works and the hdd led blinks, no spkr connected to hear beep codes. no power to hdd or cdrom or floppy drive
AsRock K7S8XE+ M/B - power up and nothing happens at all -other than the tiniest movement of the cpu fan. No lights, beeps - nothing. PSU works as I've tried another M/B on it. AsRock M/B worked OK when taken from old PC and connections seem all to be correct. Other than binning it, any ideas as to what is wrong?
