Sounds like it is in standby mode..........try pressing and holding the power button until it turns off fully. then remove the power cable to reset the power supply, wait for 5 mins then plug in and try again,

it is also possible that you have a fault , possibly a failed power supply, it might be best to investigate that if the power reset doesn't work

Sounds like your power supply has gone bad. You will need to get a new power supply. They can be found online, or in most electronic retailers.

try removing the front panel make sure the button isnt clogged with dust or disconected failing that it may well be your power supply internal fuse which can be repaird but a trick job if youare not very good with a soldering iron you may get a replacement one on ebay.

Orange flashing light on tower
There are a few lights on most towers one will mean that you are powering on your computer the other flashing orange as you say most likely is the hard drive activity light and is usually nothing to worry about. If there is some kind of problem you are having with computer light please feel free to repost and we will be glad to help you.
Thank you and if this helps answer your question that says (orange flashing light on tower) Please leave feedback or rating. Thank you have a nice day.
