:wtf: Yesterday, I was on the computer in the morning, when I woke up around 11am. I used it off and on that day, then left my house at like 5pm or so to go out for the night. When I came home, my computer was off (I knew I had left it on) so I thought, "oh well, someone shut it off" I go to boot it up, and it won't turn on...no power...I check all my wires/connections---all good. Everything works except my computer/CPU!!!! This sux. Any suggestions/ideas?

PS I switched the power cables, and it still didn't work, so I know its not the cable...

Could it be a fried power source? Fried ____________?

Thanks

 

Power supply may have crashed on you.

Whats the current power supply output and what all is installed on the machine (meaning harware...# of total drives etc.)?

 

Do fans turn on or is it totally dead?

 

also, if you power supply fried, there's a good chance a few other components did as well

 

kick it to see if its alive

 

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. The power supply probably took a crap on you. Hopefully, the cpu or the ram didn't go as well. Mine didn't so I was lucky. I just went to newegg and bought a Fortron with extended warranty and shipping for $58. It arrived in two days. If anything, get the power supply from newegg.

 

thanks for all the suggestions so far...I've tried pretty much everything you all said and other things i've heard---it's gotta be the power supply. i'll check out new egg
thanks
