I've seen a bad hard drive hold a computer in reset. You might want
to disconnect the hard drive just to see if you get a BIOS screen on
power up.
Andy,
I would suggest reseating (thats seat not set!) all the cards,

Thanks for the suggestions, I suspect a monitor related issue. I just
put in a Linux boot disk (FL-Digi) and I do not even get a signal to
the monitor, nothing displayed at all, same when i try to boot the HD
with Windows XP. . The video is on the motherboard so there is no
video CARD to reseat.

upon pressing the button , so something on the PC is working. Since
the video is on the
Thanks John, I did as you suggested, the CPU fan was always active.
It now works, having checked all obvious items, and with nothing to
lose, I did the best trick known to hams...I gave a BIG wiggle on the
video cable at the PC connector and after about a minute of wiggling,
akin to just banging
I'm surprised you're not getting any Beeps out of the POST
(Power On Self Test)
Did it Beep during normal boot up during the POST tests,
before it had it's fall?
You mentioned that the fans are running and the CD is
getting power..
Is the fan on the CPU working?
Check to see if the connector

Mike,
I got to thinking about this and wonder if the 746 uses the same D
mode (data mode) as my 746 Pro and the 756 Pro series that I am more
familiar with. You probably know this if you were using it a week ago,
but just in case, I thought I might at least mention that:
