No reponse from monitor keyboard or mouse
Please help....usually I am writing to get help with other peoples PC's but this time I'm desperate cos it's my own!!! Can't believe this has happened. I swithced my PC on today and the monitor was acting as though it wasn't plugged in. I figured it was just a bad connection ( I use a KVM switch so that I can plug other PC's in to work on them) so I checked all the connectors to and from the kvm switch. Then powered everything down and back up again. Same thing so I plugged the monitor, keyboard and mouse directly into the PC..........
No reaction from monitor and no reaction from keyboard. LED lights on my temp display screen and all other lights come on, HDD starts up, fans start up, DVD ROM flashes and floppy drive flashes.
I have swapped over the PSU just in case that was the problem but no......I hope this isn't the CPU or the graphics card....what is the likely problem / solution?
Other PC's boot up just fine so it can't be the monitor, the keyboard or the mouse.....please help.

If nothing then you are SoL.
Also try to unplug any cards, drives, etc that aren't necessary. Basically try to boot with just your cpu, video, ram, and hd
Some extra info......I can only power down by switching off the PSU on the back of the PC or by holding down the power button. Reset button doesn't respond. Also, the CPU fan doesn't start up right away. it spins then stops, spins then stops and continues to do this for a couple of minutes. Then it starts to spin properly??!!
I am so desparate now, this is the worst!!! :sad2:
If the CPU is dead will the pc still boot into BIOS or is this the scenario you would encounter???
I went and reset the CMOS by removing the CMOS battery and then replacing it 5 minutes later and hey presto it works....IT WORKS!!!! Yeeeeeeah.....thanks again for everyones advice, I REALLY appreciate it......
Cheers...:D
