I had a PC do something similar... The power light was a gree/orange
combo LED, but never went orange other than for a brief fraction of a
second before power-down. I changed some RAM (that I found - never a
good
idea) that was a tight fit. I rebooted and the drives and fans spun up,
but the light was orange. 'Not a good sign,' I thought. Then the magic
smoke escaped from the fan. The MoBo had a blackened hole in it where a
chip used to be (right next to the dodgy RAM). It, too, didn't beep when
it normally would.
I suggest reseating your RAM and checking for scorch marks...

any post codes, but it really sounds like a hardware failure somewhere
between the power supply and the motherboard. I had this problem with a
box
before and it turned out that the motherboard was dead.

Have had my knoppmyth-box running non-stop for 5 days now, working
flawlessly, recording every show I want. Today when I turned on the
TV I couldn't move around the menu, also tried with a keyboard and it
was totally locked. So I just force-rebooted.
Booted up fine and I went to watch TV, but when I switched channels
it locked down again, so I rebooted again. Now it doesn't boot at
all, it just sits there and not even making a boot-beep when I turn
on the power. No display on the VGA or the S-video out.
If there was a serious problems it would beep on me, right? It used
to do that anyway. Any way to reset this? I hope I haven't lost all
my programs saved on the drive...
