Symptoms you posted — front lights on, HDD spins, fans spin briefly then stop, no POST/beep or video — point to a power-delivery or motherboard fault more often than a simple cable or RAM seating problem. rightly flagged the fan behavior and noted the HDD still spins; use those observations as diagnostic clues rather than symptoms to troubleshoot in isolation.

Safe, ordered checks to isolate the fault:

  • Power down and unplug. Discharge yourself (touch a metal part of the case) and work on a nonconductive surface.
  • Remove all nonessential items: disconnect extra drives, USB devices and remove expansion cards except the video card (or use onboard video if available). This creates a minimal "bench" configuration.
  • Visually inspect the motherboard and PSU for bulging or leaky capacitors, scorch marks, loose connectors, or a missing 4/8‑pin CPU power plug (the EPS connector). Replace obvious damaged parts before further testing.
  • Bench-test outside the case on cardboard: connect only PSU, motherboard, CPU with cooler, one RAM stick, and video output (if needed). Short the front-panel power pins briefly to start the board. If fans run continuously and you get POST/beeps or video, add components back one at a time to find the fault.
  • If fans stop or rails collapse, test the PSU separately (or better: swap a known-good PSU). A crude "paperclip" start only shows the PSU will spin; use a multimeter on the 24‑pin ATX to check voltages: +12V ≈ 11.4–12.6V, +5V ≈ 4.75–5.25V, +3.3V ≈ 3.135–3.465V. If voltages fall under load, replace the PSU.

Extra checks and cautions: fit a system speaker to hear POST codes, reseat the CPU cooler and confirm no bent pins, and try a CMOS reset. Take ESD and mains hazards seriously; if uncomfortable with live-voltage checks, swap in a known-good PSU or seek a technician.

What is your bios !
you may of jolted the video card loose or a power connection inside the pc.

Check ram is secure in the slot /slots

yes i checked ram few times, now the fans dont run but i hear the hard disc powering up and lights are on, but no display still

the bios was not changed since i got it but i checked the power chords they were ok, the fans start first then stop like if there is a short or something

What make is your pc !!!
long beep on computer will depend on bios
ie-Phoenix BIOS
AWARD BIOS.
Continuous Beep depending on bios shows as No Power, Loose Card, or Short.
or RAM i would have a good look inside check all conections and leads.
I had a problem with one of the power leads inside touching the case!
Check keyboard ...no keys stuck down

Is your cpu fan not working
if not your cpu could be toast!!!

Make sure all fans are running in the computer. If a fan has failed (especially the heat sink fan for the CPU) your computer could be overheating and/or detecting the fan failure causing the computer not to boot.
