Hi guys, I was uninstalling chipset drivers, then I rebooted and installed newer chipset drivers, and after rebooting.....nothing happens, all I hear are the fans, the HD light stays a solid color, the mouse optical light does not turn on and I cant even get to the BIOS. Just a blank screen and the monitor does not even turn on. What the heck!!! Now Im dead as a duck here with my comp.Did I blow my mobo?Is the PS dead?.. but then why is there power to the machine.?why why why...Any help?Thanks guys for all the support I have recieved with my computer issues Ive had in the past 2 months.Regards,Bill

The mouse light is not a good indication that you have a problem - mine only comes when the driver is loaded by the O/S and you are not there.Some suggestions:1) unplug power supply cord, let the box rest for a few minutes (this clears the capacitors), plug the power back in. Test.2) If the motherboard does not post, do you hear any beeps at all? If you do, the user's guide should include POST codes.3) Could be a bad contact with a card that moved in the system not fully making contact. Reseat memory and all boards (take them out, put them back in). Test with no extra cards (only video and memory plugged in). 4) Could be an incorrect or bad contact cabling issue (example, dual power of SATA drives with the old style and new style connectors, inverted IDE or floppy cable, oxidation in a connection somewhere, etc...). Unplug all cables except for the mouse, keyboard and video and see if you get a BIOS boot.5) After the above, clear the CMOS. There's usually a jumper or a button on the motherboard to do this. You need to power it on once to clear, then power down, unshunt the jumper and see if you get to boot. I like to do this last as it does reset all your settings which can be a pain to re-program.See how that goes - good luck.The bad news is that yes, if you fried your CPU, this will happen. It can also happen if the PSU doesn't deliver enough amps juice on the +5SB standby rail.A bad disk would still give you a post and bios screens.Hope this helps,Etienne

Bill,This same thing happened a few years ago to me. I thought the HD add died. In the end it was the memory. Good luck.

Thanks for the help folks, for whatever reason, when I got back from work and turned on my computer at home, it finally booted up again. Im sure my machine is not every stable.Thanks,Bill
