I have a major problem with my pc that i had built a month ago. When i try to turn on the system the fans lights and hd turns on but i don't hear the POST beeps anymore and the pc stops loading after the ram count. after a couple of restarts i got the thing working but as i was about to input my password the thing went crazy and it shut down. After restarting agian a couple of times i notice that the options to get to the cmos is not their anymore and it keeps locking up after the Ram count so i thought it could be the ram i removed it (1 512mb stick)and tried again nothing no response from the bios it kept locking up. i then thought it could be that the cpu locked up but it detects it fine. i tried everything from reseting the cmos to removeing my hardware and trying them one by one i have a feeling the motherboard went dead but it's strange that earlier my litt
le brother was playing a game on it and he said he had left it on yet i found it off. The system was made for gameing (on low budget) and it worked flawlessy even though games like unreal 2004 and half life 2 Etc... was played on it.

After 1 hour of trying it seems that the problem was getting worse because it won't show anything in the screen and i still don't hear the post. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if i have left any info out im really agitated at the moment.

I have the following installed:

ECS Elitegroup 915P-A 1.1 motherboard
Pentuim 4 LGA775 HT 2.8 GHz
Nvidia GeForce 6600G pci express
6 fan tower with 5 fan's installed
DVD Burner
420 watts PSU

oh yeah i also have a air conditioner running in my room all the time i'm not sure of thats important info or not.
