Obviously make sure the power cord is hooked in on both sides, ( it isn't loose at the computer back). Then make sure that the switch on your case is hooked to the motherboard via the two little wires that come off the switch to the little cluster of mini plugs that go to your case speaker, HDD light etc. Make sure the switch on the back of the power supply is on, most have a little rocker switch. If all that fails, it is probably the power supply. AS I havent seen a board affect that function. If anything other than the power supply was causing it, I would lean more towards the case switch but I doubt it.

The power supply is only held in by 4 screws on the back of your case and easy to spot and remove with a phillips screw driver. Hopefully you have a shop near by that carries them. They are pretty cheap actually so it shouldn't hurt too much. While you are there, see if they will verify it is bad for free. It shouldn't be hard for them to plug it in real quick. The pain in the butt part of changing them is you have to disconnect everything in your computer that has power going to it. There will be tie in points, hard drives, plugs to your board etc.

Make sure and get a good power supply as the components now days are eating more power. Don't let them sell you some 200 or 250 WAtt one. Get at LEAST a 300 Watt. The higher the output, the less it has to work hard.

Heck at least your failures are cheap. My last two cost me 200 for a new board and then 150 for a hard drive. -ggg-

Good Luck,

Lee
