I have a A74M-E motherboard, with AMD A10-7850K Black Edition APU, and my computer shut off a couple days ago and refuses to even turn on. The best i can dois get the motherboard standby led lit and, after unpluging and pluging it back in, get the fans to try to start and fail. A friend thinks it might be the power supply, becuase i tried to connect my old motherboard up with the same results. Thr power supply is roughly 5-6 years old minimum so it is not unlikely.

If this is a power supply issue i was wondering what i would even look for in a new one, old one from what i remember, currently not at home, said something like Zephyr and 750w.
 
Solution
Then get the $35 SeaSonic SSP-300ST 300W. It is better quality and has a slightly stronger +12V rail than the $35 Antec Basiq BP350. You'll be able to add a discrete card up to the GTX 750 Ti when funds allow.
