If you are saying that the fan is blocked by dust, that can be cleaned.
You can buy air pressure cans for this purpose.
Are you saying that the led is green and intermittent? If so, that can be a problem with the power supply or the mother board or both.

Need more information to see what the problem is.

Power supply fan needs +12 Volt,
LED needs +5V, can you measure the voltages?
black: ground
red: +5V
yellow: +12V
there are more voltages on the mainboard connector:
-12V,-5V,+3.3V
pls check
If one of them is missing, your powersupply is dead

Hi sergio_cipol, from your description....
" power supply fan looks like its blocked ".
Its hard to tell what your seeing while the power supply is in the case.
Before you do anything, disconnect the PC's power cord. Disconnect the main power cable from the motherboard. For the location of the motherboards main power connector open your manual to page 2-28.
If you no longer have your manual you can download it from this link; (You'll need Adobe reader to view the PDF file).
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M2N-E/e2630_m2n-e_manual.pdf

Adobe reader for free, click on this next link;
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
Disconnect the 24-pin power connector. Than re-connect it.
(Re-check all cables within the system for good connections before plugging the power cord back into the power supply).
Test system.
If that does not help or fix your problem.
You can blow the power supply out with canned air. Here is a video of how you do that:

You may need to remove the power supply & open it up.
(Not suggested if you are not familiar with the workings of a power supply)! It can be damage. You might consider bringing it to a pro & have the wiring tested & check what it is you are seeing. If you have a spare power supply you could swap your current one out.
This board complies with ATX 12 volt specifications 2.0 or later & needs a minimum power of a 300 watts' of power. For the M2N-E motherboard.
Any one of these power supplies will work with your board;

Good luck sergio_cipol!

SOURCE: get no power with intel d875pbz in rosewill tu155 case

You don't have the power switch connected where it belongs. There's one set of pins where all the front panel connections go. This information is from the manual for this board, available from Intel here.

Hope it helps. Thanks for using Fixya!

First try to clear CMOS

Turn off the system and disconnect power cables

Locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard and take out the battery

Wait for about 15 minutes

Reconnect battery and try to turn it on.

If it remain same, disconnect power cables

Disconnect hard drive and CD/DVD drives

Try to turn on again.

Also check if the front panel connectors (Power SW, Reset, HDD connector) are properly connected.

What means sb pwr

'SB' stands for StandBy. When the motherboard is connected to the power supply but not turned on the SB voltages are supplied to different parts of the motherboard. In some motherboards you are able to charge devices like Phone without powering on the computer, that's because of the SB.

The SB in turn triggers other voltages used for the motherboard.

Cant get computer to

Disconnect everything from the motherboard except the power supply, CPU and power switch.

Turn on the computer. You should hear 3 beeps because you removed the memory.

If you don't hear any beeps, check the power supply. Check all the connections. Did you connect the 4 pin power? Did you skimp on it? A common mistake is to get a cheap, high-power supply. Just because the box says it's 1000 WATTs doesn't mean that will carry a steady load.

Still nothing...

It's either a bad motherboard or processor. If you have another processor that is supported on that board and you know it works, try it. If it boots return your CPU for a good one.

Unfortunatly, if it doesn't boot with a known-good processor that just proves the board is bad; it doesn't prove your CPU is good. You may have more issues.

Asus M2N / Antec SP-350

Things to try:

1. Check that the cpu fan is properly connected to the correct port marked CPU FAN.

2. Make sure the power cables are connected correctly to the motherboard.

3. Test the button switch with a multi-tester to make sure that it tests good.

4. Make sure the power switch is connected to the correct pins on the motherboard.

5. With the computer off pop the cr2032 battery out and pop it back in after a few minutes.

6. Test the power supply with either another motherboard or a power supply tester.

7. Test the motherboard with another power supply.

8. If all else fails replace the motherboard I have had a bad one from time to time even out of the box, and if you have a spare cpu you may want to test with that also. Cpu's hardly ever go bad I think I have had two go bad ever, not counting power surges and storm damage.

Computer will not boot up.

I have built several gamming computers, one with Asus and had good luck. What I do have is a power supply checker that I got from Tiger Direct that I use alot. To me a 450 watt PS sounds a little small . Sounds like it cant regulate the voltage, expecially the 5 volts. I have a master power supply (650 watts) that will hook up to any board or hard drive. I try it when I have this kind of problem. The only thing I dont like about Asus is that they have so many pins, so I would double check the pin settings.
Did the power supply come with the case.. If it did, change it. I have never had any luck with those. I really think they use 2nd hand ones for kits. Just my opinion GOOD LUCK

It could be a memory card too. I would start by pulling the memory cards and see what happens.

Is there a connection on the motherboard for your hard drive?
