What is NO POST?

No POST means "No Power-On Self-Test". Basically, this means you turn on your computer, and you may hear it turn on (if it has a PC speaker, it may not beep or may beep several times in indication of what's the problem), but nothing appears on screen, and nothing else happens. Generally it means you have a critical hardware fault or incompatibility.

You cna use hte list on wikipedia under the POST article to determine what the beep means and from there determine the root cause of the problem.

Usually, the problem is with the RAM, but hey, give it a shot.
