You have a bad power supply. You need to get it replaced.    

  • Anonymous Oct 28, 2007

    you can go to any computer supply store, best buy , circuitcity ect, and purchase one of a matching voltage. If you don't know how to do it, those stores will usually do it for a nominal fee

My desk top will not turn on the green light at the back is on does not flash, if i try to turn on the pc the light in front will flashe yellow but the desktop will not turn on

Replace the power supply.
Apparently you are getting power to that, but it is not passing power to the motherboard.
If this does not work, I would suggest the following for troubleshooting:
Open the case and unplug everything but the memory (hard drive, CD, other cards)
Now try to start it. If it starts, it's probably the CD.
If, with only the CPU and memory plugged in, nothing happens, then it's probably the power supply.
The next step would be to replace the motherboard.
