No. The power supply is divided to supply different voltages to different parts of a system. The fan could still work yet other parts aren't getting power.
Don't you have another power supply you could try as a test? I could be taken from another system temporarily just for the test.
got this one but its 20 pin and doesnt have that 4 pin V plug
Always a good sign.Quote:

This would be a lot easier if you had access to another PSU (or even CPU) to try.
For what its worth take it down to your local PC shop like Clocker says, give it to them say what happened and leave it with them for a few days. Im sure they will be able to find out whats fried and whats good. And should only charge a small price for there time (£20 or so) and offer to replace the parts for the price of the parts.
I'd much rather be 100% sure its certain parts and have spent £20 and have had an expect look at it then have to buy every part again (£500+)
yeah that what ill do take it to someone tomorrow
As opposed to the price of a Buick?Quote:

They might have a flat fee for diagnostic work...it's silly to pay an hourly fee when most of the time is just spent watching scans and seeing what turns up.Quote:

You'd think that someone could have picked up the phone and let you know, but better late than never I suppose.
At least try another power supply before paying $77 an hr.
