    Disconnect everything from the motherboard except the video card, processor, memory (1 stick), and a keyboard. Try to power up and get into the bios. If you can get into the bios now, add components until you can no longer get into the bios. The last one you added is causing a problem. If you try each stick of memory one at a time and can't get into the bios then your motherboard is bad. Possibly fixable but likely not worth the money compared to replacing it.

Hello,
What you need to do my friend is remove the CMOS battery, then remove the power cord from the computer. Press the power button on the front of the pc, you might at this point see a temporary flash of the power LED (at this point the cmos /bios is now cleared and reloaded with the defaults.
Next, put the battery back in and then the power and boot to the bios. Just reload all settings as needed and you should be back in business!!!

I formatted my hard drive and upgraded to a 2gb ram no i cant see anything wont even boot to bios tried using different monitor using putting back original ram tried coonnecting the <> with metal...

Do you mean you also have formatted the System partition (commonly is C:)? If so you have to reset the OS by USB or a external hard drive. If no the above situation, you can first check if the ram and the hard drive or other hard ware is be setup well (good Connection)

Cant get the product for Microsoft office and student to work.

The product key on the bottom of the computer is for the OS only, it does not work with Microsoft Office. You would need a seperate key for that. I would suggest purchasing one at the store or online. I cannot recommend downloading anything as that would be illegal. Cheers.

Wont load

It is on your os problem. Insert your OS installer. You don't have to install a fresh copy but you can repair your previous OS installation. Make sure you have set your boot sequence to CD, floppy and last HDD. You can now reinstall your drivers after doing that.
