Desktop wont turn on.......

[wrxdrunkie]

So the power in my room went out, I assumed that it was the storm that we are having right now in texas. I randomly go downstairs, see that other lights are on. Turns out my breaker flipped, which makes no sense, all I was doing was browsing the internet, its not like my room was taking a lot of power.

Well anyways, now my desktop wont turn on, it was hooked up to a surge protector. Ive tried different outlets, leaving it unplugged, etc. Everything in my room works but my computer, so my question is where do I go from here?


Hopefully its just the Power supply, but is it possible that everything was fried? CPU, GPU, etc?


If anyones got any ideas i'd love to hear them!!!



Thanks guys!

did you try it without the surge protector?

Move the PC to a room where you know the power works?

Powersupply is fried I guess. I still had the original PS that came with the case, I pulled out my graphics card, hooked up the original PS, and the computer turns on and works, So now I just have to get a new PS I guess, and a battery backup, and I will be good to go.

It really ticks me off that I had a surge protector AND nothing was going on my room that required any more power than normal, and poof, no power, PS blown.

do the paper clip trick to force the psu to turn on without the system and see if it works still..
