PC Getting No Power At All
Hey everyone.
I built my box last summer and everything has been running fine since then. I don't leave it running extended periods when I'm not using it.
I was using Remote Desktop (MS's) to remote to it from my laptop last night (it is in another room and has a USB wireless adapter).
After about 30-45 mins, the RDC connection was lost and I had to manually reboot the PC in order to re-connect.
After the second time it lost the connection, I looked at the USB adapter and the "busy" light was off, so it had stopped working.
I tried plugging it in, in the other back USB ports but to no success, the light remained out.
Then I tried a front USB port. That didn't work. So I did a restart.
However, the machine powered off and has yet to come back on.
There is no sign of life. The mobo doesn't have any lights lit. Manually pressing the power button on the inside (on the mobo) didn't do anything.
I'm wondering if the front USB port shorted my mobo (or PSU) or if the PSU itself died (without affecting the MB).
I'll get a new PSU and try. Then I'll look at perhaps the MB was fried. I REALLY hope the CPU is unharmed.
The PSU itself doesn't light up (has an internal red light) anymore or spin.
Anyone have ideas or advice before I shell out another $500 for PSU and Mobo?
