Answer #1
I have had similar trouble…
For some reason, If I un-plug my hard-drive… the pc’s DOS comes up…
Weird… but you may either have a corrupt graphics card,corrupt motherboard.. or a corrupt harddrive

You can always strop down to mobo/processor/ram and see if it turns on.
You wont get any video, but you will be able to hear if it post or not.
edwoodweb replied: get the mobos manual and see what those lites mean
You can probably Google this up from the manufacture if you don’t have it.

get the mobos manual and see what those lites mean
Answer #5
That must be some crap mobo – there are tons of the same post everywhere on the net, lol
4 LED's on = Power applied, checking CPU
3 LED's on = Cpu has been detected ok, checking RAM
2 LED's on = RAM has been detected ok, checking VGA
1 LED on = VGA been detected ok, entering BIOS
0 LED's on = System has booted to the Operating System
I haven’t had time to locate the manual yet though – do a Google yourself for it to get the beep codes
