When I push the button on my computer( i am posting from another comp) to start it the button lights up so there must be power to it, but nothing else happens. The fan on the processor doesnt start. Nothing shows up on the monitor except that it is in power save mode and says to use the comp to exit it.

Jump to Posthold the power button for about 10 seconds. then physically unplug the computer from the wall and hold the front button for another 10 seconds. Plug it back in and see if it works.
Jump to PostCan you hear the BIOS beep? If no, check all your connections, specifically the CPU, RAM and display. If it does beep, does it give a quick, short single beep, or a long/repeating beep? If it's the latter, check your motherboard's manual to see what the beep you hear signifies …
Jump to PostHave you found that is necessary to remove the bios battery for that long? It seems really excessive to me that the rom chip could get juice for more than a second or two. Am i wrong?
