Ah boy, so many things could be wrong, but usually, it's something simple, but tricky, like this problem. My guess is that it still could be the power supply- it depends on how they check it. If they just measure the voltages, that can be misleading. Depending on the type of power supply, a supply line can, under the load of being hooked up, drop just enough to not function good enough. The solution to this problem is to replace it with a known, good one. If the problem's still there, then it's either your motherboard or a component that's shorting out the line. If you try a different power supply, and it's still not coming up, disconnect the CD, DVD, and any accessories to try to isolate the problem. If only the motherboard is left, you will have to have someone troubleshoot it, or replace it. A used computer store might let you try another power supply on it for free, in the hopes of selling you one, and then you would at least know the problem is with the motherboard, and they might be able to check that out for a resonable price.

Hp Pavilion, Power supply Inactive, HHD savagable, intel Chip Savagable, i was thinking a new motherborad for the chip and the hard drive ????

Hi,
If your Desktop not start it means not you mother board problem because starting you find your SMPS proper running or not. Because SMPS supply all power in CUP so you check it SMPS on or off position. if SMPS ok then you check it mother board light on or not, if on then ok or not on then you change SMPS supply.

If your display issue then you check it RAM and HDD.

Thanks.

Power supply unit starts (fan running) but computer does not....

Try swapping out the ram 1 at a time, making sure there is one memory piece there while testing. If no! check hard drive for activity.

I have a burned out Bestec ATX-250-12z power supply for a hp pavilion a320n. I need to know if a Dynex® - 400-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply, will work in its place.

yes it should do provided your current psu is not a small mATX one. ATX power supplies are pretty generic. Make sure you get one that has enough connectors to suit your system, having said that, Considering it's an off the shelf PC I would guess most PSU's would have the right number and type of connections.

I have a hp pavilion 513c it wont boot up! the

Hello,

There are only two ways this can go for you.

One- you need a new power supply

OR

Two, you need a new mother board

You can verify the power supply by checking it on another machine

If the power suppy is good

And you do not hear the bios beep- then you are looking at a new motherboard- I would double check the powersupply first- most stores that sell them will let you check before you buy a new powersupply.

Pc no start.........

You might have a bad power supply. If you have a voltmeter, check the voltage of the standby power supply. This voltage is present even if the system is off, plugged in. It powers a small portion of the logic circuit. It should measure within a couple of tenths of exactly +5 volts. If it is low, or high, this will prevent turn-on. The purple wire of the 24 pin connector is what carries this to the motherboard. The color coding layout is found at http://pinouts.ru/Power/atx_v2_pinout.shtml If by chance this voltage is OK, then check the full on voltages also. Repair of the defective supply is probably by replacement of one or more small electrolytic capacitors in the appropriate circuit, especially if you are technically savvy. Capacitors are available through several suppliers; Digi-Key supplyies Panasonic FC series which are suitable for switching power supplies. Or, you may just replace the whole unit.
