a new processor and perhaps new motherboard may be the problem. I've built enough computers in my time that i have run across duds many times, but it is rash to suggest this before ensuring this is the problem. We do not wish to encourage our members to start buying hardware they do not need.
I had this exact problem occur and by doing this procedure, i was able to determine it was my floppy drive causing a short and stopping the comptuer from booting... i think $10 for a floppy is much better than buying a new mobo and proc... don't you?
Also:
please do not post 2-3 words per line, it lengthens the thread for no reason.
I do not know what 5 years experience means to you, but i have been programming and building computers for much longer than that.
