need serious urgent help!!!

[ekk20]

Hi all, I'm new here and I have a very serious problem that needs to be solved urgently if possible, as much as i'd want to search, i can't come up with a good searchin title to find my targeted answer.


So last night before i went to bed, i left my desktop computer turned on and according to my wife there was a electricity outtage so my computer got turned off in a very bad way, and when the electricity came back on and i woke up, i tried to start the computer again and it wouldn't start.


well, this has happened before, and all i had to do was unplug the power cord for a few minutes and plug it back in and it would turn on like normal, but this time it won't start at all! I noticed a flashing green light when the power cord is unplugged and when i do have the power cord plugged in, the green light flashes more frequently, now can anyone determine what the problem is for my comp? thanks for all the help and any piece of advice is appreciated.

Providing there was damage from a line surge when the power was restored you can try recycling the power supply by unplugging the sc cord and pressing the main power button on the effected system. This will discharge the caps in the supply itself.

If this method fails to see results you would then have to look at the suppliy itself or possible board problems now being seen. If you didn't have adequate surge protection a line surge may done some real harm there.
