Title: Computer will not boot up
Post by: mwood on September 15, 2009, 04:12:08 PM

I have an older desktop computer.  When I try to turn it on, the power button light turns orange and stays orange.  It used to turn green.  I can hear the fan starting up, but after a minute it powers down.  The screen stays black. 

Help!

You can safely ignore the above post.

Sounds like the power supply is shot.
