Computer Powers On But Won't Post

So, my computer was working 100% until friday when it all of a sudden decided not to post.

The system turns on, all the case fans spin, the GPU fan spins on the high RPM like its trying to start but never settles down and the CPU fan isn't spinning either.

It sounds like it does when it first starts up but then never posts. Eventually it'll shut itself down after 25-30 seconds.

Any thoughts?

Possible memory problems? Twice I have had memory fail and it gives the symptoms you describe.

I would try what they say as well, could be memory related.

Next Up I think would be the PSU , I had one like that with a failed 12V Rail?

FIXED....All I want to say is F:angry2: PSU's.

Actually its really my fault. The main 24pin was unsettled just enough to cause the problems (I couldn't see a difference when it was plugged in fully).

Thanks Guys!.
