The thing wouldn't POST, I tried everything you oculd think of. The
bare system, out of the case etc. I sent the CPU back and they said it
was faulty, so sent a new one back.

I installed the new one and the PC POST'ed no problem. I set the BIOS
settings etc, then I Exited with saving. The PC then just went to a
blank screen and the drives kept clunking as if they were looking for
something. So I thought I would install XP. Turned the PC off, but when
I restarted it, it wouldn't POST. No beep. Nothing.

Everything is whirring away - all the fans etc.

If I take out the RAM it beeps at me.

Any ideas at all??

Junk psu or bad mainboard. Check your connections and make sure all
the mb power connectors are being used.>
