Hello, I need help,
after dust cleaning my computer with celeron466, 256RAM, it will not boot through post at all, it will power up and just stay there with no screen and nothing.
re-sit RAM and try different video card with no luck.
Can anyone please help!! It is a big puzzle. Did I fried the CPU by accident by any chance, please advice.

Jump to PostDoes it beep at all? Is the monitor snugly connected to the back of the video card? You sure everything inside the machine is snug?

Jump to PostDid you remove and clean the CPU ,or just the fan .
There is the old process of elimination,removing all addin cards and booting computer and replacing one card at a time .also if you have more than one stick of ram remove one ,boot computer ,if nothing,replace and remove …

Jump to PostI would pull the cpu again and look for bent pins...
I assume you know about the notch on the cpu and only supposed to go in ONE WAY..
