Solve : BIOS won't start?

Answer» PERSONALLY at this point I would dismantle the whole *censored* thing, take the RAM out, all cards and drives, inspect everything under a strong lamp, and built it up again from scratch, starting with a minimal SETUP - CPU, one stick of RAM, no display card, (connect monitor to onboard video if present) and see if I can get a POST, if not I would then swap the RAM stick with the other (assuming you have two). If I did get a POST it might be normal or there might be beeps. If it was normal I would add stuff bit by bit, powering down each time & removing AC cord of course!

The previous post was good advice. also a diagnostic POST PCI card may be helpful and they're not that expensive. Salmon, tnx for advice. I did dismantle the whole thing and start from scratch. I took a really good look at the motherboard, but i couldn't find any damage. The video card is onboard, so i can't remove that one

I tried to get a POST, first using only the CPU and RAM (no response). Afterwards, i tried swapping RAMs, still no change. In the END, i removed any RAM from the PC, and, guess what, i STILL didn't get a POST.
Its a dead case if you ask me... even if something had broken down, it would be a *censored* to search for new parts cause it's a 6 year old motherboard.
I'll GIVE it a shot to make it work, but i seriously doubt it. Anyways, thanks to all for the advices.
