Did you take car of the tower when you moved it? you could have messed your mobo up or gfx card. check everything inside the tower hasnt come loose ect.

Best thing to do is plug it in the with case open, earth yourself and poke at its insides with a metal screwdriver. My favourite hobby. P.S. Does it make the startup harddrive noises that you are accustomed too? I kknow every pc makes different noises but you can usually tell.

its a celeron, throw it away.

 

[Akuma]

lol MentaL nah, no noise it wont power up at all, the green led on the mb shows but thats all when i press the power button the p[owerpack fan dont start the cpu fan dont start and the hdd dont boot up, there builtin graphix, its was transported safely, i cant seem to understand what it is, the mother board takes the 2-2 power cable too, when i unplug this the cpu fan starts, so it shows there is power goin threough it, but when i plug it bak in ,nothing but wont boot up and no other movements when it is unplugged obviously

Erm maybe check the fuse in the power lead?

 

[JohnBarny]

unplug ur power jumpers
get a screwdriver and connect the 2 power ones that should boot it up if theres a problem with powerswitch which it sounds like

 

[Akuma]

its not the fuse as the green led is on on the mb and yeah tried that its not the switch as i have swopped the towers over and tried using a screwdriver

Sounds like one of the hard-drives could have blown. Happened to me a few weeks ago, basically, one of my harddrives ****ed, and the computer wouldn't start if it was connected. Try using a different hard-drive in it.

 

[hesmondo]

oops forgot about the green light

unplug everything - harddrives, ram, optical drives, pci cards - see if it attempts to boot up after that

 

[JohnBarny]

by anychance did u happen to plug a pci card into a slot while pc was on?

 

[Akuma]

nah m8 no pci cards in it
will unplug evthing now see what happens thnx
