While powering ON the system, the motherboard gets Green light inside, and then nothing happens, What can be the problem?

I don't think that PSU has the problem, as it is working fine from past 3 years, Now I have also Re-Cabled the Power cables, won't they affect?

If you are telling me to buy a new power supply unit, how much it costs?Average Cost?

If the motherboard shows the green light, PSU should be just fine. Check the RAM sticks. Do you hear any beeps?

Remvove the CMOS battery, then remove the RAM sticks, clean the board and reinstall all again.

Yeh, Only ONCE there were BEEPS, but NO Video, then after restarting Power Button, there was NOTHING.

I changed the RAM from 1 slot to another, but nothing happened.
I took out the Battery from > 2 Minutes, but nothing happened.
I re-cabled the motherboard, but nothing happened.

When I Power ON the UPS > Power Supply .. only Small Green button on the MotherBoard Lights, and happenes.

What can be the problem?

Repeated long beeps = Memory Problem

Replace the RAM and the problem should go away. Get a test piece before buying a new one, just to be sure.

I THINK there were 3 beeps, after then Only FloppyDrive Sound and repeat restart, with NO video.
Now Only green Light on Motherboard.

I checked the PSU by Short-Circuiting Method, and it showed error.
There is a problem with PSU.

Thankyou all
