(processor cooling, fans, few noises.. but no lights.. and nothing would come up on the monitor.. just a orange inactive light.. and the second problem would be the computer restarting.. i would remove the bios battery for a minute or so and place it back in.. and the computer would start.. then restart.. then id have to take the bios back out.. and do it over to start the comp.. so.. i backed all my big files i needed and was getting ready to reformat.. and now the computer wont turn on long enough.. or even turn on at all.. it does the no light thing (while acting like it's on).. so now i cant even reformat.. and i dont have any clues of what to do.. if anyone has any ideas besides buying a new computer.. please share, ill be back using my parents computer (sadly) to see if anyone has any response.. anyway.. thanks for everything.. cya all later --Sidu

You could try to use another battery... see if that helps... if it doesn't... test it you system with another power supply... if that doesn't work... either your motherboard or either your processor has died in the process... been there done that with an old pentium 1, 166 mhz, which ran faster than my father's work pc, which was a pentium 3, 400 mhz.

yes wait... remove every plug (power plugs, not light, not buttons) from you mainboard. Only attach the power plugs of main board, so don't plugin you cdrom's dvd's, diskdrives, harddrives and try to boot... btw do plug you cpu fan...
if that doesn't work... you've got yourselfs a dead mainboard.
