Well, woke up this morning to find my computer (which was on the night before) off. Had some wind and rain last night and figured the power must have gone out in the night. (My computer specs are to the left in my profile. Build is about 2 years old, all parts new at that time.)
Now, the computer won't turn on. Pressed the power button, no lights or fans or anything, like it's not even plugged in. I checked the power outlet and it's fine, checked all the power cables and they all seem in order.
Normally, some USB devices (like my unpowered USB hub and mouse) stay lit even with the computer off, but they're all off now. Even the little green light on the motherboard isn't on.
I figure something has happened to the power supply, but before I go and shell out for $75-$100 for a new power supply (the system needs at least 600w and a power supply that supports 2 graphics cards, and I don't buy cheap stuff), just wanted to get a second opinion. Would there possibly be anything else such as the motherboard? Even with the motherboard damaged, I figure something would still have some kind of power, like the USB devices as I described, but nothing, which leads me to believe it's more likely the power supply is shot.
What do you guys think?
