Yup - Windows usually makes "welcome" sounds when starting. If you hear nothing, it isn't only the video.

i have dual monitors and both are out. No beeps while booting. tried booting in safe mode and nothing.

I have never been this stuck on a computer problem. i have no clue where to even start.

edit: also, one of my 3 120mm fans stopped working the night it died (it may have died sooner...but i noticed it did'nt spin anymore that morn) could this be a fried CPU? the heatsink is on tight and spins when i boot.

It's more likely that the power supply is failing. Test another *quality* unit. Never go cheap on a power supply.
