I have just returned from a two week vacation and my home PC is completely dead. Even though it is plugged into a surge protector, I unplugged it and my router before I left town, although I did leav

I had a lightning strike near my house, probably a tree. It did not strike the power/phone lines but was close enough for an EM pulse. I lost a PC that was disconnected at the time, some of the flash

You could try removing the ethernet card and then seeing what happens, but offhand I'd say your power supply is toast. mjb. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Ar

That's three quick votes for the power supply, but it has about 50 wires coming out of it, so how does one go about testing it? http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/jandkstone99@msn.com __

I'd suggest looking on YouTube for PC troubleshooting videos. Maybe Tomshardware, and Newegg, too. Lots of info out there. Lots of questions, the first of which is do you get any indication of power

You are correct that there is no indication of any power at all. I can not find any fuses anywhere. The only component I have moved so far is the power supply, but that gives me a pretty good look at

Make sure you actually have power where you're plugging it in! Power strips have breakers that can pop in a storm. Even the house circuit breaker can trip. Even more likely if it's a GFCI. Make sure

Yep. Also confirmed that the power cord is delivering 120v to the supply. Been researching new power supplies. So far, the only direct match I have found is through HP at $80. The computer is an Pavi

One thing to watch for when getting a brand new power supply for an older computer is getting enough matching connectors. New power supplies come with some number of the thin, flat SATA connectors, n

More important is the mother board connector. They've changed over time. Also $80 is kind of high for PSU, try NewEgg.com. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Arc

Unfortunately, many if not all modern PC power supplies will not work that way. They have to see a load on the main outputs, and have a control jumper installed to tell them to turn on the main outp
