Computer won't start-up

[darby]

I shut the computer down last night and it shut-down fine. Today I went to start it up and it wouldn't start-up. All I got was the harddrive light would go on for about 5 seconds and then shut off, and then the DVD drive light would come on for about 10 seconds and then shut off, and then this process would repeat itself. The computer never got to any boot screen and I never heard the RAM beep up. There was never any indication that the monitor received a signal from the computer either. The monitor light did not light up green. I turned the monitor off and back on and it just said "No Signal Received". Thinking if this is a bad RAM stick, -- power supply ---- or harddrive crashed?? Thanks for any help. See signature for system info. Again the computer never crashed and I never got a blue screen of death. Just won't boot-up!!

Any ideas PLEASE!!! Thanks

I'd bare bone the rig...

one stick of ram, one hard drive, etc. and then try to boot.

If that doesn't work, it's probably the power supply

Thanks, I did the barebone and it turn out to be a stick of memory. Afterwards I put it back in and the system still boot up. Maybe the stick was lose or lossened up. Thanks
