It is A Emachines t6209 it has

an AMD Athlon 64 3200+/ 2.2 GHZ
ATi Radeon Express 200 Chipset
2 GB of memory installed
160 Gb IDE Harddrive
Micosoft Windows 7 ultimate

I've looked for solutions for why the monitor will not come on. Now i can't turn the computer off via the power button. I'm not sure if the jumpers are set correctly and I can find a motherboard manual to save my life. Also the harddrive is not spinning when it comes on and I took the memory out, unplugged the harddrive and the optical drive to see if the motherboard would beep when there's no memory installed and I didn't here not one beep and this is a new motherboard.. can someone please help me out here. I've checked the power supply, nothing is wrong with the processor, the memory is brand new so i don't know what's wrong.
