I have been having a real problem. My computer spontaneously powered off and then I could turn the machine on but only the fans would run. I had posted a thread previously and I tried out some ideas. I replaced the mobo, but that didn't help. I have replaced the ram, which did not help.
I checked the battery and all that....no luck.
After trying the above, I decided to try a new PSU since my 750 W is pretty marginal even assuming it is working correctly. So I tried an 1100W PSU of the same brand ( Seasonic ) and this time the computer would not show any signs of being on whatsoever. No fans, no output, no BIOS, nothing. I checked where the power switch on the case connects to the mobo but it looked properly connected. I'm going to check it again when I get home though I've already checked it twice.
I'm totally at a loss, and I'm considering giving up and just buying a new machine. Is it possible or likely that I somehow have multiple component failures? It seems highly unlikely, but I guess I could have gotten a bad PSU, but i've never heard of that happening to anyone.
Any help is much appreciated.
