I recently encountered a strange, but I'm sure common problem. My system will not turn on after I repeatly push the power button. I,m using a gateway computer that is 500 Mhz, and the operating system is Windows ME. Athlon K6. I believe it could be the power supply, but I may be wrong. Please anybody with some info could you please help.

Summary: what do you mean by it won't turn on? You mean you hit the on button and nothing happens? Start with making sure the unit is plugged in and the power supply, if it has a on/off switch, is turned on....
