If you have access to a multimeter you can verify it pretty quickly. Unplug the connector to the hard drive or CD/DVD and engage the power button. If you get a reading, then power supply good. If not, before you replace the supply, open it up and check the fuse inside. There is a small automotive type fuse in there to protect the supply.

If it happened after a power outage, it may need just a long reset. It happens to my computers ever so often. Pull the power cord out and let is sit for a while. Might not be it, but worth a try.

Well I had to remove the cpu fan to get the power supply out. When Putting the fan back on the fan fell off and could not get it back on. I went back to the original fan and broke off one of the nubs that the fan mounts to so now the fan will not stay on the cpu  . Im having a friend order a new supply, mount and fan. It just stinks that I cant look up the forums every day  |

Believe it or not a memory stick going bad will cause the same thing. Frustrating to find that our after EVERYTHING else gets changed, I know.

Possibly a lightning strike, or power surge. I try to unplug my puter when lightning storms are in the local area. |

Well if I new I would have had to replace most items I would have bought a different mother board. It seems a tad faster and cant complain.
