Comment: Okay, here's my plight. My power supply recently blew up on me. Replaced it.
Everything was fine until my PS blew again.
Got a new power supply and my computer still would not boot. It turns the fans on for about 1 second and then they stop. Tried this with two power supplies.
Thought it might have been my MB, so I bought a new one. Same story. Fans for one second, then nothing.
The only other thing I could think of is the ATX switch, but tried a different working one with the same results. Does anybody have ANY idea what's going on??
HELP, PLEASE!! P4 1.6 gHz
550 watt ATX switching P4 PS
1st board - VIA P4X266 PEII
2nd board - ASUS P4P800S-X

Reply: (edit)It's not even starting up, so there's no chance to get hot at all. It happens after sitting for hours unplugged.
Thanks, Brian

Reply: (edit)Did you benchtest the new motherboard outside the case before installing? Did you try booting it in barebones configuration? ie with only powersupply, CPU, graphics/monitor, 1 stick ram and keyboard. Nothing else connected. No drives, no plug-in cards. Will it POST like this? Can you get into BIOS?. If not then since you have new motherboard and PSU then I would suspect failed CPU or graphics. Is the graphics card PCI/AGP or onboard? I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

Reply: (edit)PSUs don't just blow...something causes them to blow. And just saying that you have a "550 watt ATX switching P4 PS" means nothing. PSUs are one of those "you get what you pay for" items...if you didn't spend at least $50, you probably got a low end piece of crap
