for ppl who ask is it all plugd in right (yes has we havnt touched anything off it and it worked ok yesterday)

What does it do when you turn it on? what beeps do you get?

Also you might not have touched anythin but something might have come loose while moving it, so make sure all your cables are in / secure.

you checked all the components are in properly? specially if it has a jumper for the graphics card. when i built my pc i didnt press the jumper down properly and got a black screen.

Disconnect the power cable and then press and hold in the power button.

This will perform an ATX reset.

Once done this, then test the machine.

Check your hardware also could be loose ram also causes a black screen if you have no memory you have no screen and check your little battery on the mother board C-Mos battery if not set right it cant load your bio ect
Make sure all cards are snug in there slots all cause black screens

Loose ram would cause a POST alarm and no mention of that so not ram.

CMOS battery, this would still post screen and so not CMOS battery ether.

Any hardware that is loose or not fitted corectly, would always POST alarm.
