I was using my comp tonight when it unexpectedly shut off. When I try and restart it only the power light on the front of the PC and the little led light on the mother board will go on…nothing else. There are no beeps or other sounds from the pc, no fans running and the dvd drive does nothing as well. Is this a power supply issue or something else like the mohterboard?
Pc specs are
Gateway 820GM
P4 3.2Ghz
2Gig ddr ram
ATI raedon x850 xt graphics card.
-notes-
I have occasionally been noticing an unfamiliar noise coming from the pc recently but I had assumed it was the rear exhaust fan that was starting to go bad. The noise was not present when the comp had shut off however.
I had already replaced the PSU once to meet the power requirements for the graphics card that is currently installed.
