      Is this a new video card? Have you made any recent changes to your system? Are you hearing beeps on bootup? Any clues at all?

        Remove all your ram then try one stick at a time rebooting each time. If that doesn't work try the same trick with the ram slots rebooting each time. Do you get the drift, like playing musical chairs with ram & slots.

        Hi I just read your post, I'm having a similar problem, only difference is that in my case when my PC begins its boot process, it first sounds two (2) beeps and then nothing more happens.  Even the initial information like Ram info, Memory etc., none of that shows up, the monitor simply remains BLACK.
        I find it interesting that you finally found a way to get it started by unplugging and plugging back in.

        Can you detail for me exactly what you unplugged and plugged back in, so I can try this out too.

        Thanks... VB

        Hi Eastcoastflacpl, I don't know if you got my email...but in case please let me know the procedure you followed step by step which led to your computer turning back on?
        PS...I tried sending an email to you but it seems that it got posted instead of being emailed to you.
        Someone made a  comment about 'hijacking' because I wrote to you and said that my PC also has been going through similar problem.
        ***If this is posted and not emailed can you guide me so I can do it right next time?
