You have what is called a no POST/no video situation. Since you just moved the
PC, one of the internal components has probably been jostled loose. I would
suggest doing the following:
-unplug the PC
-open up the PC and reseat everything that is detachable (i.e., IDE cables,
power supply connections to motherboard, cards, DIMMs, CPU--especially if it's
a slot 1 CPU)
-turn the PC back on
If that doesn't help, then see if you can at least narrow down the problem by
stripping the system down until all that is connected is the bare minimum to
get a POST screen:
-remove all cards but the video card
-remove all DIMMs but one
-disconnect the drives completely
If you are able to get video after that, then start attaching devices one by
one. If you don't get video after that, then, yeah, you'd need to start
swapping parts with another PC.
Good luck!
