unable to locate the problem

My pc is not booting and i am unable to locate the source...
When i turn on the pc, nothing comes on the screen. The cpu fan is running. I tried another monitor, but the problem persisted. So monitor is not at fault. I also tried the HDD on other pc, but it was not at fault , coz i think that if HDD is at problem then the pc should atleast boot upto BIOS. I thought of checking the RAM in the same manner but it was DDR1 RAM and the other pc had DDR2 RAM so i couldnt.

Can anyone tell me which part failure causes a pc to not boot even upto BIOS.

its surprising that no one replied...
is there nobody that can help me narrow down the problem?

hi once i wrongly flashed my mobo, then the same prob took place. got a new one though.
Strip ur pc to the bare minimum then check if it boots. Whats the last thing you did on ur pc. also reset ur bios

Scavenger:
System sepcs...

The problem isn't related to RAM according to me....
If a RAM problem occurs...then the pc starts till the logon screen and then crashes...
I'm not sure about this.... but maybe u should check your UPS and try another one from ur friend or someone else...
maybe its not able 2 give enough power the d pc

@ Scavenger:
Remove all devices (HDD, RAM & Optical Drives) first, from your mobo. Then try to run the PC. A beep must come, since your RAM is connected. If not then, your BIOS is damaged somehow.
Did you flash your BIOS anytime?

Send in your system specs too.
