I have a Sunblade 1500, recently it just stop working. The power led is on but no output in the monitor. It supposed to beep onces to notify the user that the sytem is coming up, but no beep can be heard. I check the memory, the CPU, video card and harddisk to they are all working. What could be the problem?

Is it possible to try the monitor on another computer? If so try that. I've worked with motherboards that don't give a power up beep code (strange, I know), so after the checking the monitor, I would try removing and re-seating the video card, and memory, one at a time and see what happens. Is the cpu fan running? Check these things out. Is there onboard, integrated video in addition to the graphics card? If so, try using the integrated video port. If the cpu fan is running, and the power led and hard drive leds are working, then it's a safe bet it's not your power supply. It would have to be the video card, in my opinion .
