the can shaped silver topped are the capacitors. if they are domed not flat topped then you have a problem. if there is some brown stuff on the top of the capacitor then you have a problem.

I still say check your ram. My computer had identical symptoms. The cpu fan would run but the computer wouldn't enter into the bios and I didn't have any video signal at all. Computers do weird things when components fail I would try everything.

A failed POST can be caused by ANY component in the PC, and I've seen it happen for pretty much any component too. Video card, CPU, Power supply, Hard disk, DVD drive, RAM, Motherboard, and even network card. The only things I haven't seen cause an issue have been Sound cards and electromechanical things such as case fans.
