My PC doesn't go past the motherboard manufacturer logo. I tried to reset the BIOS. I have two RAM slots and 1GB RAM. I tried reinserting the RAM in other slots.
I think the red light shows that the hard drive is working fine.

If the red light is on solid, I'd check all my connections inside the box (reseat the RAM, the power supply, the hard drive connections, etc.). Most likely though, at this age, something on the power supply or motherboard is broken. Difficult to test on such an old machine, too.– user3463Oct 28, 2012 at 18:32

Try cleaning up the insides of the CPU (specifically the RAM, processor etc) with a vacuum cleaner. This worked for a friend of mine who had the same problem.

1A vacuum cleaner is an exceptionally bad idea. It's a static nightmare. You should use a gas duster (compressed air in a can), available from most computer and electronics stores. Either way, I think the computer is probably dead. My vote is motherboard issue.– user3463Oct 28, 2012 at 18:30
