Okay my computer wont turn on anymore.
When I hit the power button the lights would come on, and there would be the motherboard beep, then the monitor would turn on, then the computer would start booting up.

Now there is no motherboard beep and my monitor never turns on. (the monitor works fine by the way.. I tested it on another computer)

Also I dont think it is an external hardware issue because I unplugged everything but the power cable and I still have the same problem.

Is my motherboard/processor shot?

THANKS!

Sounds like a video card problem. Although most of the time you would hear a continuous beep instead of no beep. The fact that your computer is starting but nothing is showing on the monitor is pointing towards the video card. Assuming you have a optical mouse, does the light on it turn on?

do u have a motherboard that has a on board graphics card then you can try it out that way. If that works then that means the graphic card you purchased is faulty.
