Background:I been running this system for bout 8 months, I built it myself. I been runnning a 3 PC network with this one as the server. Bout 3 weeks ago I had it overheat on me while playing Everquest(EQ) I took off the side panel and aimed a "house fan" at the m/B it keeps the entire PC cool "to the touch" while I play EQ thats bout all I do on the PC so it doesn't have alot of other prgrams on it. HD is bout 70% free.

Problem: I shut down the PC night before last with no problems, then I go to log it on last night and nothing happens. The power light comes on and all then lights inside go on (M/B, HD, fans turn on) but it does not boot up.

What I have tryed: I have not done anything new to the PC other then install new drivers for 3d card and upgrade to directX 8.1a.( which I have done the sam ething to my other PC) I have removed all unneeded hardware I.E. 3d card, ethernet card, modeum. and tryed to reboot it, with no joy. I checked the circuts everything is getting "juice"


Specs are:
AMD athlon 800Mhz (duel fan)
128ram PC133
VIA Apollo kx133

I would very much be over joyed at any advice you can give me, I think my CPU has taken a dumb on me

Remove everything except the power supply module, MB, CPU, and the case speaker, place the MB on a piece of cardboard, startup.
If you do not hear any beeps, then either the PSM, MB, or CPU is bad.
If you hear beeps, install the memory. Same Beeps? Memory is bad.
Different beeps? Install the video card. Same beeps? Bad video card.
