My computer does not start anymore but still has power. When I press the power button, the fans (i think it is the fans but I am not sure) are too loud compare as normaly. I don't have the beep noise either and the screen stay black. I unplog every devices even the power cable but still does not work
It sounds like you have a bad power supply. If you can use a different one that you know is good, then you will know for sure, but it definitley sounds like a bad power supply. Hope this helps you.
I mean the thing your power plug plugs into in the back of the computer. They go bad and even though the computer starts the fact that you don't have anything on the screen tells me that if it isn't memory then it's the power supply. Trust me, i've had this kind of problem before so let me save you lots of headaches. Try another power supply if you can. Let me know.
well first chek and make sure the fan in your power supply is running smoothly. a dirty fan will make noise and it's alot harder to keep it cooling plus it really shortens the life of the component it's cooling, in your case the power supply. sometimes you can just put your hand behind the back of your computer and feel by the amount of heat. also make sure there is nothing blocking the way of airflow behind your computer. unless you know how to use a volt meter i really can't tell you for sure how to check it except trial and error which means you need a good power supply to test. as long as you know everything else is good then it's the only thing that could be wrong. even if it powers up the computer it can still be bad which is why it's hard to think thats the problem. try googling "symptoms of a bad psu" and decide for yourself. i wish i could tell you that i was 100% sure but unless you can try a different one that is good i can't. check out the google search and get back with me. and good luck !!

Thank you for your answer,but what do you mean by "power supply"?
thank you for your help. The thing is I don't have other power supply so before bying a new one how can I be sure it is the problem?
Yesterday I opened the case and cleaned all the dust. it is after that i noticed the noise was more from the power supply than the fans.
Can I try a power supply from a different computer even if it is not the same brand?
I guess not!
I think I am going to buy a new power supply and see
I would keep you posted.
Thank a lot
