Last view: 4191 days 		While Windows was logging on all of a sudden the computer shut down instantly and refuses to start back up. I've tried switching the switch on the back on and off, using a different power cable, etc.. But can't get it to boot up. My take is this is the power supply's fault and that it just burned through or something. But I didn't detect any smoke or burned smell or anything. Also it does nothing at all when you try to make it start up, no beeps or anything. Like it doesn't get its power.. That's why I guess it's the power supply.
Does anyone have any idea?
Specs are:
64bit AMD mobo
2.2 Ghz AMD cpu
200 GB HDD
ATI Radeon X800 PRO
Windows XP SP2

There should be some control LEDs on the mainboard... if any of them lights up, it's not the power supply.

Things to check are whether all jumpers and power cables are in place and the BIOS ROM is still intact (I remember at least one mainboard I used that stopped working in a similar manner when the BIOS socket broke).
