Solve : Trouble starting Computer?

Answer»

Computer:
Gateway GT5228
AMD Anthlon 64 X2 4200+
2GB DDR2 Memory
nVidia Geforce 6100
250 GB Hard drive SATA II
Windows XP Media Center

I'm having trouble turning on the computer. I press the start button and the light on the start button turns on but only for a split second, then it turns off.

POWER cable is fine. Could it be a problem with the power supply unit?

I was wondering if someone knows what the problem may be and if its something i could fix?

Thank you for your help.
Fairly new build...what happened prior to this ? ?
Any new hardware installed recently ? ?As far as i know it was working fine before. No new hardware has been added.Quote from: fireloop on December 04, 2009, 06:23:17 PM

Could be PSU, but they have a protection circuit which prevents TURN on if an OVERCURRENT condition is detected. Therefore, it could be anything inside. You start, by DISCONNECTING things, one at a time.Ok, thanks. I'll give it a TRY.
