Where the hard drives are located in realtion to the computer doesn't really matter much, so long as they are plugged in to the motherboard.
Try the CPU fan thing, but more importantly get your data secured. Do you know how to take a hard drive out? You will need to plug that hard drive into a computer that is working correctly (Make sure you have your jumper set to "slave") Then just copy the data off the hard drive to the working computers hard drive. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

You don't by any chance have a spare CPU lying around do you? If you do you may want to try swapping it out (Just make sure your temporary CPU is compatible with your motherboard of course).
Otherwise, to check if it's a hardware problem, good ol' trial and error would be the best way to find it. Start by removing all but one stick of memory and trying to boot. If the computer still doesn't boot, move that same stick to a different slot and retry. If it still doesn't work, try a different stick and repeat the whole process. Do this for all your hardware (You will need a replacement for the CPU and Video Card, something cheap) Eventually, if your computer boots after you've removed say your stick of RAM, then you know the problem is that specific piece of RAM and you can then move on to getting it replaced. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
