You say the hardrive rolls as normal, if this is the case then the memory, CPU and m/b are fine. Sounds like either a duff graphics card or an incorrect setting for it within the BIOS (AGP/PCI settings). Normally, if this were the case you would hear a beep or two but I have been in a situation where there were no beeps.

Remove the graphics card and re-seat it. If still no joy read the motherboards manual and figure out how to reset CMOS (normally a simple jumper switch). Else I suggest you try out another graphics card on it. Any problems to do with the CPU or memory always result in a series of long beeps so I think its safe to assume those components are ok..........unless the internal speaker is disconnected <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
