Was your PC plugged into a surge protector?

Also, here is what I recommend you try.

1. Unplug the the PSU from the Mobo.

2. Take a Paperclip and bend it into a "V" shape.

3. Take the cable, and put one end of the paperclip in the GREEN wire slot, and one in the BLACK wire slot. There are usually more than one Black or Green wire slot, it doesn't matter which you use.

Here is a more clear explanation with pictures: http://www.overclock.net/t/96712/how-to-jump-start-a-power-supply-psu-test-a-power-supply-and-components

Tel me how that goes.

What PSU do you have? Does it have a reset button it? Were you using a surge suppressor? Does IT have a reset button? Are you sure that the power outlet is still 'hot'?

I'd assume his build doesn't have a reset button on his PSU, but it's possible. Try using different outlets. Was the COMPUTER ON DURING THE POWER OUT.

first of all check the wire going to the motherboard for the reset switch.

THANK YOU GUYS for trying to help me, but I found the problem. I went at a PC Repair shop (IDK how its called) and they took down my PSU and they noticed that the PSU is the problem: after that blackout, without surge protector, It is DEAD. I'm happy that the other parts are ok, thanks to god.. BE SHURE THAT before my new PSU will come, I will buy a GOOD SURGE PROTECTOR... I hope I will get it fixed in 2 weeks or so.. Anyway, thank you guys that you replyed to me so fast

I love tomshardware forum
