Computer has ran fine forever, since i built it last july, no hiccups. I start TF2 and get past the valve screen, about to load the main screen for TF2, but before it gets there, i hear a ding like an error, but i have a blank screen inbetween loading. Now, i tried CTRL + ALT + DEL to no avail. So i just naturally pressed the power button. Now the computer wont boot. It turns on, everything sounds like it's working, but no go. Doesn't show anything on the screen, monitor light just flashes.

Any ideas?!

» Asus M2N-E Mobo

» eVGA 8800GTS 320MB
» WD Raptor 74GB
» Plextor DVDRW
» Antec P182 Gunmetal
» Rosewill 500w PSU
» Samsung 226BW 22" LCD
BTW it's on Vista Ultimate
 
Try:
1. Checking cables to see if they are loose.
2. reseat all applicable parts, ram, graphics card, etc.
3. pull any unnecessary parts and try to POST.

I'm sure others will have more.
 
Got access to a spare Video Card and PSU you can try? If it's not those, I'd then alternatively try and pull sticks of ram and then look at the cpu or MB.
 
Figured it out, i thought i had an idea from the start. It was the PSU. Picked up an antec truepower trio and it works.
