Due to a power surge from a storm recently, my computer shut off and hasn't came back on. I have a Dell Dimension 4600 and my computer isn't under warranty. I contacted Dell and they said it was either the power supply or the motherboard. They SUGGESTED that I buy a power supply first since it would be the CHEAPER way to go and it COULD fix the problem. So I bought a power supply from Dell and my computer is still not working. So now I guess I need to buy a motherboard but my question is..... if it wasn't the power supply that is the problem, will my old power supply work if I get a NEW motherboard? Could I return the new power supply? I would contact Dell about this but since I don't have a warranty, it cost $50 just to talk to someone.

What are the specs on the new PSU? If they are high enough just keep the new one.
