Hi all,

After my last computer encounter (of the viral kind), I was bummed out so didn't touch my computer for weeks.

But now I'm forced to because my wife is tired of me hogging hers .

Anyways, to the point: My OS went down totally a few days after I last logged on here, so last night, I reinstalled it just so I could backup my important files before reformatting all my HDs and starting fresh.

The OS install went fine last night, I was even able to install my MB and video card drivers. But when I restarted to finalize those driver installs, this is what I found:

1. Computer hangs at motherboard logo screen (XfX, my manufacturer)
2. No beeps...I repeat, no beeps at all
3. The HD activity LED comes on, but it doesn't flicker off and on like it usually does, it just stays on constantly
4. The motherboard LEDs come on
5. CPU fan works

I've reset my CMOS by pulling the battery out for 5 min and putting the jumper on pins 1-2, then putting my battery back and jumper back to pins 2-3...no beeps, still stuck on MB logo screen
I've pulled the vid card and reinstalled it...no beeps, still stuck on MB logo screen
I've pulled my RAM and reinstalled each in both my slots to test the RAM and slots...still no beeps, still stuck on MB logo screen
I've cleaned out the dust from my heatsink and fan, same non results
I've kicked my computer 66 times (ok j/k on that, though I did want to)

I've done a bit of research since last night, and the only culprits left seem to be a bad MB/CPU/or PSU

Anyone with any ideas, or what I should try next?

Thx!
