urgent help needed?

Hi, I just built my system in a nice Fractal R2 case. Installed win7 and left it. Came back to it and win7 was in power saving mode. I couldn't wake it up or power down.

I shut it down from the psu switch and now I can't get my 'puter to power back on with the power button.

Any help would be great, thx.

Yep. Everything was fine an working till I used the psu switch.

Is the PSU fan spinning ? No

Are there any motherboard lights ? Just a lit green led

Does the mobo have an onboard 'power on' switch/button ? Nope it's an Asus p5k premium

I'm assuming that I have killed the psu. It's a Corsair hx650w.

I've tried using a jumper on the front panel pins to jumpstart it. No go still. No psu fan still.

OK, do you know how to jump start a PSU ?

This will rule out the PSU as working,or not.

Nope I don't know about jumpstarting the psu.

Do you have a spare PSU?

If not try one of the mobo switch packs from the place that begins with M on the retail parks and use the power switch out of there plugged straight onto the mobo.

good luck matey, we share your pain!

My mate is popping over today with a spare psu. So I'll let you know what happens. Thx for your support

Hi, im back up and running now.

The problem was something to do with the BIOS settings getting corrupt when it went into sleep mode.

I took the CMOS batt out and reset using the jumper. After that it fired back into life. Totally strange and I never seen that solution coming. Gotta thank my mate for that tip

Thanks to everyone for there great advice. I have taken everything on board for future reference
