hmm the power supply is probably shot. try opening up the computer and do these things:

1. Make sure the power button lead is plugged into the motherboard correctly. Jiggle it around a little. Then try turning on again. If no go...

2. Make sure the atx power connector (plug from power supply to teh motherboard) is plugged in securely. Test again.

3. Unplug all hardware from teh computer, leaving just the motherboard, cpu, vid card, ram and see if its starts...

4. Try resetting the cmos. to do this u have to locate a cmos jumper, switch the pins that it overs (there are three, it will probably cover 1 and 2, make it cover 2 and 3) for a few secoonds then put back. test again.

5. try using a different power supply, one that you know works for sure.

if none of these work, then you have either got a faulty motherboard, or the power switch is broken.

this dude sounds like he wouldnt no how to do half of this stuff rossco

Does the fans have to pluged in?

If so I think the problem is that the fan isn&#39;t plug&#39;d in right.
