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

You are not even getting the power supply fan to spin? I would first check the outlet and the power cord. This includes where it is being plugged into the surge supressor which may be eliminated for testing purposes. Next is the fuse of the PC power supply. And then check to see if the cable from the on/off button is still connected to the motherboard. If all of this looks good, then I would suspect the power supply itself. These things are relatively cheap and can be quickly installed. Just make sure to get the same wattage rating or above from what the PC is using now. I am sure most if not all of this is obvious to you. But it is my two cents nervertheless. :-) With regards to the market, as you know, I have returned from a long break. Sort of fell off the edge of the Earth. LOL I have a couple questions to ask. Has there been any signs of "covert" accumulation of specific stocks as the market has been consolidating before this latest sell off started? Also what are the sentiment indicators pointing to? VIX looks like it has hit resistance. I think a rally attempt by the market at this point may be a bit premature for me to place any significance toward it. But as they say, it can be worthwhile to anticipate, but it is more important to trade what actually happens. Good to be back "alive" again! :-) Bob Graham
