Computer powers up...but won't boot?
Yeah, this time my problem is a bit larger than USB =p I build this computer a few months ago: AMD 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core @ 2. 1 GHz 1GB DDR2 Corsair XMS2 RAM eVGA 7600 GT KO Motherboad is Asus M2N4-SLi 320GB 7200RPM Seagate HD.

I build this computer a few months ago:
AMD 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core @ 2.1 GHz
1GB DDR2 Corsair XMS2 RAM
eVGA 7600 GT KO
Motherboad is Asus M2N4-SLi
320GB 7200RPM Seagate HD.
Working fine until just about...30 minutes ago. I've moved it around without any problems, so I didn't think moving it today would bring up any problems.
I usually keep it at my dorm - well I'm home for the holidays so naturally I brought it home with me. Just a car ride home - no rought handling or shipping via airplane.
It was working at my dorm...after I took it home and plugged everything in...pressed the power button...first nothing happened on the monitor. It's apparently not getting any signal. I also noticed my power light won't turn on? My motherboard light turns on, my fans are on, my LED's are on...my eVGA has a fan and that's running so my graphics card is getting power too.
I did a few things to try and troubleshoot it.
- Tightened and pressed down wires
- Removed my graphics card and replaced it
- Removing CPU fan and replacing it
- Replugging wires and connections
None of which helped. Still the same problem...anyone have any suggestions?

Do you mean that the power light on the monitor does not come on, or on the box?
if the box, try checking the power supply voltage switch to make sure that it did not get moved to the wrong voltage when you moved the box.
If this is not the case, do you get any bios beep codes on the boot try?
Also try checking the power supply cable to the motherboard to make sure it is firmly in place.
If the monitor LED does not come on, did you re-plug in the power connector to the monitor itself. Sometimes it takes a little more pressure to make the connection.
Are you using a surge protector to plug in both the monitor and box?
