Do the lights turn on? If they don't, it could be the Power.

Check the power connector to the mobo. That might be it. I ahd a friend who's computer's lights would turn on, but the COMPUTER would not turn on, and after spending a few days agonizing over it, we found that the power connector to the mobo has come loose. CHECK!

Try resetting the battery. Take it out and lay it on the table for a minute before putting it back in.

350 watts is weak man... you should upgrade to 500 at least.

k i think im gonna dump this piece on some poor SOB and upgrade anyways...hmm i thought 350 would be enough for a Pent D with radion 1300....

what do u think is better? 2.4mhz quad core or 3.0 mhz dual...both about $300 on tiger direct

also why do highend motherboards have crossfire support (most of them) did radion finally release a DX10 chip? is it better than an 8800?

Haha I am too am trying to choose between the E8400 and the Q6600.  I vote E8400 because you can overclock it to at least 4GHz on air.

Go dual-core. 3.0 Ghz dual-core is in use now more than 2.4GHz quad-cores. For most programs, your 2.4 GHz quad-core would be used as a 2.4 Ghz DUAL-core. Get the 3.0 Ghz dual-core.
