USB ports, Monitor not working on computer?

When we turn our computer on it lights up like it is coming on. It seems to be running very quite and does not beep on start up. The bottom fan on the rear is not working either. The monitor is good, I hooked it up to a different computer.

    Could be a bad RAM stick. Could also be the motherboard or power supply. I would start out by taking all RAM sticks out and turning on the machine. If you hear beeps then your RAM is bad. If you still don't hear beeps then you should take everything off of the motherboard (cd/dvd drive, hard drive, floppy, video card, etc.), Try to turn on again. Still no beeps? Check power supply and motherboard. Beeps? Put things on one by one and check again. Post back if you need more info.

    with a bit of luck its no longer the motherboard,could wanna verify the flexibility furnish interior the pc to work out if possibly that's no longer giving out sufficient electricity first. Pop the case and notice in case you have a fading or a vivid mild interior the motherboard whilst booting up. if it fades out and in, its no longer getting sufficient juice. If its sparkling as day and it sounds love it rather is booting up advantageous, then it must be the motherboard or in basic terms reinstalling each and all of the drivers returned. good success with that!
