Computer was working great before this episode.
I dismantled the beast to add more ram, (removed processor card, video and usb pci cards lowered the mobo and added the ram) reassembled and it appears to start, The green light comes on, the hard drives spin up, the monitor light goes on and then back off again and that is how it stays. I went back in and removed the new ram to see if that was causing the problem but it is still happening.
I have had a similar problem before when the monitor cable was bumped and the card became slighted unseated, but I am certain the video card is seated correctly. I even tried it in another pci slot.
This happens with my 9600 with Radeon 7000 and Voodoo5 if the PRAM gets zapped. I don't know if it's some six slot issue (they're all filled) or what, but to get it to boot I disconnect the monitor cable from the Radeon 7000 and power up the computer. The Voodoo5 is connected to a second monitor, so it boots to that screen. Then I turn the computer off, reconnect the Radeon monitor, on, and everything is fine.
But if you don't have a second graphics card this isn't much help. Try disconnecting the monitor cable, power the computer, wait a few minutes, off, then reconnect the cable and turn it on again.
