I was working the usual stuff today when my main PC froze, so I have to shut it down. (details of the PC in my profile)
After that it won't start. There is a power and the usual clicking but nothing on the screen.
So far, I've done this:
- disconnected all peripheral devices - the same thing,
- changed the graphic card - the same thing.
Any hint, please.
Thank you in advance.

open the case and carefully check the power capacitors that are next to the cpu. you may need to remove any shrouds around the hsf to see the ones in the back. the capacitors of that age are prone to leaking. they might be bulging or have a brown sludge on the tops.

Do you see the POST screen come up on the monitor, do you get the beep signal that the BIOS chip recognizes the keyboard and mouse?
Thank you.
I've looked at them - there are many of those darn things.
I cannot see anything unusual.Last edited by Jeremiah58; 8th Oct 2010 at 18:43.

Clicking ? ... from where
Sounds like the hard drive may have suddenly failed ... if the drive remains connected to the system it may prevent the system from completing the post signal ... disconnect and reboot the system again. -
The usual clicking from the HDD during booting.
Anyway, replacing the power supply solved the problem.
Jagabo thank you so much for the tip. You are a life saver
And huge thanks to all other who tried to help.
There wasn't a single time that I didn't get a useful help from you guys. My sincere respects and thanks to all of you.
