Post by: cathym on April 13, 2007, 08:43:49 AM

Help--My sisters computer is broke --She said it was working fine and then the next night she went to turn on the comp and nothing --so we tried replacing the power supply and still nothing --but the green light on the motherboard is on --but no power.  What should we try next????
Thanks for all you help

Strip the system of everything but the motherboard / video / RAM.  Boot the system.  Do you POST?  If so, start adding one component at a time, starting with the keyboard, mouse, etc., until the system fails.  Usually the last component installed is the culprit...though not always.
