I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a problem. My desktop will not load up, I just randomly came home one day and it started to happen.
I can hear both of my fans running, and i see some green lights on when I opened the tower to see. I'm not sure on what else I can give info on..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Also when I start up my computer, my monitor gets a message of "No signal to power, Going Power Supply Save"

I'm assuming it's my power supply after googling similar problems.. if anyone can confirm this then that would be great |

Sorry but from what you've said does sound like the PSU.
First ensure all the cables from the PSU to the motherbaord are very secure (jiggle them a bit - to get rid of what's called dry joints) Are there any "beeps" when you boot the computer?

Yeah I just tried doing that unplugging the dvd/cd drives and etc from what I read and just left the main things, and still no luck, and there isn't any "beeps" All it does it just make my fan runs just about it

It's not what you want to hear but your next step is another PSU.
