Sorry Melissa, i don't get what you're trying to say. Do you mean the power supply unit or the heatsink and fan on the cpu? If its the cpu then make sure the heatsink is sitting properly on the chip otherwise it might not run. If its the power supply unit, try what Marcos said. But since you said that there is power.....can you get to the POST screen?
