Orange is usually suspend, but obviously that's not the case. Did the other computer work? My thought is something could of happened to the PSU when you tried it on the other computer...

the light comes on when i press the power button, after i press it, the light blinks continuiously. when i plug the power cord it, the fan usually spinned, now it doesnt, if the PSU was bad, would it still light the green lights up inside the case? on the riser board and the motherbaord?
