My computer is... broken?

Verted · 29 Apr 2007 at 21:14

One morning I decided to turn on my computer. It was unplugged at the mains. As soon as I plugged it in, the computer turned itself on, without even pressing the on button. However, nothing happend. Nothing loaded up. All the fans are spinning and everything, just nothing comes up. Also the monitor just switches itself off. The computer wont turn off unless I turn off the PSU, or turn it off at the mains.

Any idea's what is wrong?

No I havnt reset the BIOS. I literally just turned it on one day and this occurred.

Where can I get a new one?
How much do they cost?

Okay I will have a look at these things, although I'm pretty sure the pins wont have moved. I've had the computer about 3 years. The PSU is just the Antec one that came with the case. I can see how the PSU may cause the computer not to turn off, but why would it stop everything from loading?

Is there anyway to test the PSU without just replacing it?
