Hey guys I have somewhat the same problem. I installed a new DVD-drive, then I started to get some really serious problems. First I got the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death), then I took out the DVD-drive restarted, and got another BSOD, then I took out my CD-RW drive to see if that made a difference, but it did not, this time I didnt even get a ram count at startup, no BIOS access and no beeps to indicate failure. I started to suspect the CPU was gone till I read that others have had same problems after a firmware-upgrade. Now the mashine is completely dead on startup, I mean, the fans are running, drives gets power,but no signal to monitor what so ever. Im usually not helpless with computers but this one I really needs
with guys
