Do you get the one quick beep when the machine is turned on?
Do you get any other beeps when the machine starts?

Try to re-seat RAM.
Is it just one 512MB stick, or couple of smaller sticks?

hello Devzero

No I donot get any beeps from the machine. Toay I did replace the memory module for a new one ,also replaced the HD for a known working one but machine keeps same behavior as I posted Prev...

I'm afraid, you may have motherboard problem or PSU is not giving enough juice.

[devZERO]

If your not getting any beeps that would indicate that the initial POST (Power on self test) Is not even starting. This would indicate as Broni said that either your motherboard is dead or your PSU is not providing enough power to the machine.

No Beeps: Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals

[Broni]

Don't scare people....hehehehe
