This is a phone post. I checked it for grammar and stuff but it's stiffly written, sorry about that. Problem: Computer does not show any output on the monitor. Computer does not pass post. Computer does not have a beep error. Pressing the power button causes all fans to spin. Fan speed seems to be constant. Attempted fixes. Verified television and HDMI cables are good. Power supply tested good.Tried removing both sticks of ram, still no error. Also removed video card and tried both sticks in dimm 1 slot. No configurations caused any error beep. Recent issues and changes: the following errors led me to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows. Tried to play planetary annihilation for the first time and received d3d9.dll error. Attempted to run System File Checker, could not fix error. Ran repair from windows os on thumb drive. repair detected no errors. Copied known good version of dll and tried to run planetary annihilation. Received new dll error. Copied two or three more dlls before getting Kernel dll error. This is when I reformatted and reinstalled. system seemed fine then, ran planetary annihilation without problem. While playing state of decay system shut down. System would not power on ( current problem). Windows 7 64 home premium. Amd processor. 2 sticks of 4Gb corsair ram Amd hd 6500 1gb video card. Corsair 650 watt power supply. Samsung 1tb hard drive. United states. I have read the faq and googled this issue. I stupidly do not have a ups, my pc has lost power several times, and I think the mother board is broken.

Try a different power supply, but I agree the motherboard has likely failed. If not under warranty it's probably smarter to make the jump over to Intel now.

Ok, I will try another power supply. Between a new motherboard and processor I'm into upgrade territory. Maybe I could throw in more ram, a second video card and a ssd. Oh, and a ups. But thanks for the tip, I'll check the power supply and report back.

So I bought a new power supply, motherboard, and processor. (I was too impatient to buy just the power supply and see if that fixed it). Not being comfortable setting up a new processor and motherboard I threw myself at the mercy of a kindly old electrical engineer who's computer room looks like Pritchard's lab from Deus Ex: Human revolution but with more 1970's furniture. He didn't see anything wrong with the old mother board: no bulging or leaking capacitor or anything, though he also said that's hardly conclusive and the board is probably bad. He kept both the old board and processor and will tinker with them later. We used the new power supply I bought because it's newer and also modular. He hooked up the new motherboard (and turned my hard drive around since I'd installed it backwards - I wondered why they made it so hard to hook up those cables).He also showed me how all the cuts in the board are to route cables cleanly and now my PC looks less like it was built by an idiot (me). There were a few moments of frustration when the drat thing wouldn't turn on - we checked if the processor was in all the way, if the led's were set up correctly, if we could jump it with a screwdriver, ect. Once we cleared the CMOS it started right up. One funny note, I don't have a PC speaker on this PC, so I never would have heard any beeps during POST anyway. Anyway, the new setup seems to work fine, and this new motherboard has that cool new UEFI or whatever BIOS that looks like a GUI, I dig it. All is well, thanks for the advice.
