Solve : possibly the most confusing problem ever?

1.	Solve : possibly the most confusing problem ever?
Answer» I have had this problem before and the fan on the power supply was out. Installed a new fan and all was good. Quote from: kickenchicken on June 22, 2007, 09:34:56 PM what am i supposed to do? ask if i can borrow their PSU? They'd look at me like if i had a third eye. It works for me...there are people who can GO a few DAYS WITHOUT a computer. Or others who may have more than one... Or what about at school...do they have a Computer lab ? ? Sometimes solutions take a bit of creativity...heh, id highly doubt ANY of my friends or neighbors would let me borrow one. my school does but were out of school. and my old school used macs so, that would be a nono. the PSU's fan seems fine, does seem a bit low though. You're on your own then.... Best of Luck to you.ah well thanks anyways, heres a bootlog file just to see, someone told me on another forum to do this. i still havent recieved a reply from the comp guy to see if he can test my psu ntbtlog.txt right click and save asIncluding the other Forums this is now 10 pages of advice and suggestions...if you cannot borrow a PSU just go buy one. But don't get the $20.00 model...heh im thinking of getting the Thermaltike or something one, seems to have some great reviews and its 39 dollars.ok, something reallly weird just happened, i decided id try to connect BOTH of my hard drives at teh same time and run my new one as boot one, one doesnt have a jumper and the new one is set to CS (cable select) anyway, once i booted up, both drives started up, but then i see that the Bios doesnt detect either one!!! so i shut of the comp and try again, still nothing, i UNPLUG the old one and wala, it worked. so maybe it isnt a PSU failure after all, but a mobo issue? i also got an idea, what about the IDE cable? could that be it? mine seems to be pretty crimpled up.
