PC wont boot

hey guys,

My wife's PC wont boot. had a text from her this afternoon saying that it would not turn on
after getting home and trying myself pulling the power cable and such.
the fans kick in at a very low RPM, sys fan 1/2 and the cpu fan

any ideas?

Any beeps from the CMOS/BIOS speaker?

Does anything appear on the screen or is it completely blank when trying to boot up? Any beeping noises?

Stone22uk · 23 Aug 2011 at 20:02

What are the PC specs? & as Tingle said any beeps at all?

indyskyz · 23 Aug 2011 at 20:06

nope nothing no beeps not even hard drive activity no power led just the fans spin silently
they come on as soon as the psu is turned on from the back

power/reset buttons do nothing

Not something I've seen before, but it sounds to me like a PSU problem.

Might be worth swapping it for another one to see if that makes a difference.

gonna pull it apart now and **** in another psu see if that works
will update

Could be a PSU issue, I'm not sure if Tagan is a reputable PSU brand; but then again, why would the fans be spinning if the PSU's not working?

Sounds like a PSU issue. Maybe the rated wattage has dropped down - hence it not being able to correctly power everything...
