Unhappy Very strange PC problem, PC wont POST.

Hi guys,

I'm having some weird problem with my PC and hoping one of you nice people, can help me.

I have no idea why but my PC seems to have trouble starting up..... you know when you switch the PC on the fans etc all roar and start up.....well, the fans just get stuck on the roar sound and the clicks and start up sounds of the PC dont happen......the light doesnt flash on the keyboard, the picture doesnt show on the monitor (instead the monitor power light just flickers like it does when the PC is off but the monitor power is on. In addition to this the LED light for hard drive activity is stuck on a solid blue light.

I had to press the restart button about 12 times to get the PC to fire up properly. In other words, it seems to not be able to POST!

Any ideas what the hell is going on? I'm at loss as to what it could be.....my mobo temp and cpu temp are low.... 47 degrees for the CPU (when being overclocked as much as I could) and the mobo at 26 degrees

My setup is as follows:-

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600
2gb OCZ Platinum RAM
Asus P5b Motherboard
BFG GeForce 8800 GT 512mb
Seasonic 600W PSU

Hope someone can help me?

I was overclocking my CPU but nothing too drastic and I also have the latest BIOS installed for my mobo.

Hope someone can help me

Thanks

Sim
