What motherboard??? What memory?? Are they all EXACTLY the same? If your
hard drive "sort of just don't run" and your screen says "no signal", just
what is it that IS working? Reduce to minimum, motherboard, CPU and PSU,
remove/disconnect everything else. CPU fan should run and speaker should
beep error code for "no memory", usually a series of continuous beeps. If
not, is one of those three, otherwise add things back until you find the
problem.
