Have you checked that the cables are tightly connected then, plus have you a spare monitor ?
Edited are there any beeps when you power on?

No because someone ,I think it was grumpy crab told me what to do and it worked and has been ok ever since till now. We have had trouble with our broadband dropping lately so I changed the ethernet cable from the pc to the home hub and then when I went to try the pc nothing happens, not even the dell sign where I could at least try f8

With pc plugged in but with with the plug at the wall switched off press AND HOLD the pc on/off button for 10seconds. Turn switch on at plug. Try pc again. Any fan noise? Any beeps?

Hi grumpy crab sorry I didn t reply last night but the broadband went off again and still has n t come back on. We are expecting a new hub today. However I'm in Manchester Airport right now on their free wifi. I ll be back on Friday so I ll try it then. Husbands most annoyed because he won't be able to access his pc while I'm away and thinks it's my fault and that I've broken it simply because it was working ok when he had it on earlier :mad:
