Did you plug everything back to the new power supply?? is your monitor data cable connected properly??
please check everything is properly seated (don't assume... spend 5 minutes checking everything again) and make sure you GROUND YOURSELF by at least touching the power supply first before touching any component inside your pc.. don't forget to unplug the power cord from the power outlet!

some motherboard may have not only 1 but to power connectors, check your motherboard manual to ensure you're plugging everything that you need to plug (no more or less.. just about everything that needs to be plugged.. depending your motherboard and cpu power requirements.

check your memory is seated properly.

is your power supply of the same wattage as the previous one or larger? (if it's larger that's fine.. you gotta make sure you do have sufficient power)

    check your monitor's data cable is actually working by plugging it into a known good tower.

    check your video adapter is working by trying a known good monitor and plugging it into the your pc.



    if possible try installing another video card and testing with a known good monitor.. if it works you may have fried your video controller on the mother board/video board you had/have on your pc.



    please post what troubleshooting steps have been tried.

Gateway dx 4320 wont turn on

It could be a few things:

a faulty power switch - you say that you've changed the PSU, but did that include the switch?

it could also be a Faulty Motherboard or CPU. If either of them are fried, you won't see anything come on either.

I'd suggest checking the switch first because that's the cheapest and easiest to replace

My moniter has a black screen and is blicking blue light. i have a proview model 2200w? Was working fine until i shut down yesterday. I unpluged, nothing happened. Could it be in a sleep mode? If so, how...

this is so common in lcd monitors, its the power suply board.... most likely a capacitor.. so type a model# into google following the words "power suply" it will probably be close to $50-$60... thats better than buying a new one

hope this helps you

Do i Turn the Power off ?

No one will say 100% either way because there is no 100% answer. If you leave it plugged in at all times it will most likely burn out the power supply faster than if you disconnect it when not in use. It was not intended for constant on situations or designed for that. You should be able to unplug the power from the external hard drive itself however that won't save your power supply. I would put it on a power strip with a switch and use the switch to turn it on and off when I needed it.

My moniter is not working at all, is it posibel

Open it up and look at the capacitors. The round "tin can" looking components. If the tops appear bulged, then replacing them may help. Check out the YouTube video... and web site...

My Moniter Is Blank

First make sure that you have the P4 connector (the square one at the top of the board connected to your P4 power from the power supply.
From here I would disconnect the data cables from the hdd, optical drives, and remove all video/peripheral cards. You should have only the RAM, CPU, and power connected, then try to boot again.
If this works, then add 1 device at a time until it fails to start. This will isolate the component that is giving you problems.
With a single stick of RAM, try to get the computer to POST. (if possible, test the ram in another machine first to ensure that RAM is good)

I have a dell dimension 3000 pc that i haven't used for a few weeks as i was waiting for an external hard drive to put all my music, videos etc on. I have just come to use the pc and it won't even turn on....

if the external hard drive is hook up to the main drive you might have to disconnect the exteranl hard drive and try another way to hook them up together . you did something wrong when you installed the externall drive. try it . and see if the original hard drive boots up. if this works you will have to change the boot sequence to use the external drive.

Emachines 1900+ gets power to the monitor and computer but wont boot

There could be a number of causes. Do you hear any beeps when the computer starts up? Try seating all the chips in the motherboard. That means, apply pressure to each individual chip on the motherboard with your finger or thumb. The goal is to make sure each chip is securely attached to the board. Sometimes, heat or new h/w installs partially "pop" some of the chips out of the motherboard - causing the circuitry to be disconnected...
