my uncle came down with his pc for me to have a look at, saying it was reporting ntldr is missing...

i plugged it all in...and....it won't boot.

when i plug the power cable in the psu light glows, then when i press the power on button the light goes off, the fans spin round once then NOTHING

is that the sign of a dead psu?
 
yea i just pulled the cables from my other pc and plugged them into the motherboard this second, sure enough...it worked.

thanks for the reply
 
i presume it was it dying that gave the ntldr error, it prob wasnt powering the hard disk properly then fully popped its clogs when it got to my house
 
this might be a stupid question but the motherboard is micro-atx in size...but it doesnt appear to be a micro-atx psu.

Can you run micro-atx motherboards on atx psu's?
