    Hello everyone

    I've just returned from my holiday and tried to turn on my PC but i'm not getting any responce from it at all. I'm pretty sure its the power supply but i'm not 100% sure. Can anyone suggest any other reasons that maybe wrong with it before i look at buying a new power supply. I hope that its not the psu because its under 12 months old..

    any help would be great.

    Well, you should hope it's the PSU since it will be covered by warranty ;)


    You can test it by disconnecting the ATX connector and the 4 (Or 8) pin power connectors on the motherboard, and then shoring the green wire in the atx connector to one of the black wires. The fan in the PS and all connected equipment should start. If it doesn't the PSU is dead.
