Hi guys,



I recently got myself a new computer about 1 month ago, and it's been all good, up until this morning when I tried turning it on.

I press the usual power button on the computer, but it doesn't turn on or respond.
I've made sure the power switch is turned on, the back power switch on the computer is correct, and I can't figure why it's not turning on.


The last thing I did was shutting down the computer, and there were no dramas there.
Nothing I did was out of the ordinary: games, word, minefield etc.

Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz 2x4MB 1066FSB LGA755 Quad Core
Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4
Dual Channel DDR2 1200 memory with ECC support
ATI Radeon HD 3870x2 Video Memory: DDR 1GB
2 x PC-6400 DDR2 800MHz 2048Mb Memory Module
2 x 500Gb Seagate Barracuda SATA 32Mb Cache NCQ
Sony 1.44Mb FDD (Black)
HP DVDRW 20X SATA Dual Layer
Gigabyte 3D Aurora Aluminium Chassis (Black) USB 2.0 x 2 / IEEE 1394 x 1
Audio x 1, 2 x 120mm Silent Fan, Water Cooling Ready
Creative X-Fi Platinum Fatal1Ty Champion

Any help is greatly appreciated!:)
 
Not quite sure, as the PSU isn't mentioned in my quote..
How powerful should my PSU be to power it would you reckon?
 
You might want to open up the case and look at the PSU. On it, somewhere, is the manufacturer and power rating.

Either way, it sounds like your PSU or motherboard took a dump.
