Your friend may have meant to 'reset' the BIOS. Even if he didn't: do it. Unplug the pwr. cord. Take off the side of the P.C. Carefully remove the 3v battery and wait about 30 seconds. Replace it. (leave the side off). Plug it in and try it out. Updating the bios is something that you only want to do to improve some aspect of how your computer performs. If it is working (or was working) a bios update is not what you need to do. If anything has been done to your machine just prior to the problem, consider reversing it. (If it's a hardware item). Take out one ram module and try. (Because it's there and you can). A dead stick could do this. Check both pieces. Are the fans coming on? Does it act "dead"? No nothing, nowhere? Reply.

is this a new build that you haven't got to work yet? or is it an older machine that suddenly stopped working?

updating the BIOS would only help if the CPU wasn't recognized by the older BIOS.

you say you checked the cables, memory, video card, and PSU... but how did you verify they are good if your PC won't boot up. did you try them in another machine? if you didn't then any one of them could be the culprit.

if not, then the first component you should check is the PSU. unplug it from everything inside the case and use a jumper wire to short out pins 14 and 15 (green and black) on the main 24-pin power connector. the PSU should turn on. (once it turns on, turn it off quickly with the rear PSU switch or by unplugging it). if it doesn't turn on then your PSU is bad.

good luck :wave:
