We moved recently and altho I hand carried the pc,

(handbuilt antec 900 with xp pro an ip35pro motherboard, 2 sticks of ddr2 corsair memory, 2 dual head geforce 8600GT video cards, quadcore Q6600, thermaltake 700w power supply, seagate 750 baracuda main drive seagate 500 secondary drive running 4 monitors)

once I got to the new house and hooked things up the pc booted up and was fine even did some word docs and other things I needed to get done but I was just not online yet (had not run cable to it had to go under the house to get a line to my back room here).

I set it up for a defrag on the main c drive and walked away after doing that work yesterday, came back today to it to sit down hook up an cat 5 cable and get online yet the system never responded (sitting at a black screen), so I restarted it, no normal startup info screens, yet sounds like normal (everything spins up power supply kicks in fans start up all seems like it's gonna start) but nothing comes up on the monitors and the keyboard (which is wireless usb) doesn't even light up like it normally does and appears unresponsive as well.

I tried inserting my xp disc and rebooting too figured maybe something got messed up in the defragment phase and i would just use repair option, but even doing that the computer does the same thing (seems to start but doesnt with nothing on the screen to see react to or choose from).

Then I thought ok maybe something came loose in the move, so i verified the video cards are both secure, ram secure fans all working etc, yet still nothing upon restart.

My motherboard ip35 pro by abit has a code system built into it when i start the system it goes to C1 code which is detect memory i reconfirmed the memory are in their slots and secure, and even when i try to hit any F keys to enter bios etc nothing responds or happens just appears to start up but nothing comes up on the screen or anything.

Any suggestions on what else i can check try or do? It's weird how the unit worked fine after I got it here but upon running that defrag and coming back to it I am now stuck with no response and im just not sure what to do next here...

I just pulled the battery on the motherboard thinking i dunno maybe it would help somehow, put it back in but still nogo, really stumped as to what to try even, disconnected the hd and restarted it but still nothing even coming up on the screens, all monitors were marked 1,2,3,4 so they are hooked up (and were working fine yesterday), no onboard video to try, might pull one video card and just try to monitors heck i dunno just stumped.

I took everything out put it all back together again re seated ram video cards etc and it booted up so something must have appeared to be inserted fine yet got jiggled a bit during the move.

Well, I am glad we were able to help!

Thanks for the followup.
