Also I have removed the hdd and put it in an external drive shell and pluged it into another computer, it worked fine. I just thought it was maybe a bootstrap problem, I did something stupid and wanted a fresh clean install on that hdd and put it back in the computer and nothing. The same thing. Perhaps it's bios got flashed or changed on accident.

It it boots from a live CD or bootable USB drive, then it is likely the hard disk. That is easily enough replaced, if so.
If not, it could be a variety of things ranging from a boot rom to a short on the motherboard.

I tried to turn it back on but I get just past the POST test and the phenox tech screen with options comes up. Then nothing! It will not go further, I pushed both options that were displayed. and still nothing! Can anyone help me out, or is it just fried and need to toss the computer.
