Ok, here is the story!
Woke up, turned the machine on, checked emails, phone rang. So i got up to answer it quick, pushed in my chair, the chair bumped the front of the tower slightly. The machine just shut down like the power plug was pulled out. I didnt think much of it at the time because i figured that i had bumped the power button on the front and it shut down..
So i come back a few minutes later and try to turn the machine on and nothing at all happens ( like its unplugged ) wont boot to bios or anything.
First I thought powersupply went booooom, but then after chatting with a tech friend, he had me pull the cover and watch the fans while removing the power cord and reinstalling it...he said to watch to see if the fans spin, which they did for about 1 second. So he tells me that means the power supply is working and most likely my mobo bios is wasted. PSU could still be fried and have enough to spin the fan. Also, no, the fans dont spin or LED lights of any kind when the power button is pushed.
Second opinions wanted cuz i dont wanna waste $$$ on a mobo and then have it be the psu!
Only upgrades to the unit are... memory, pentium 4 processor and heat sink, Replacement hard drive, dvd writer..otherwise its bone stock..
