If it IS the PSU then it may not be so easy to replace as a standard ATX.
May have proprietary cables or size to fit case.
This tells you how to power up a power supply without it being connected to the motherboard for testing purposes... Unplug power cord from back of computer...unhook all cables from the computer including Mobo connector.(ALL)( you dont HAVE to take the PSU out of the case but I suggest it.)...take a bent paper clip and make a U shape out of it...wrap the bend in electrical tape if your skittish,... insert one end into the socket with the only green wire going to it...insert the other into any socket with a black wire going to it ( just to clarify I'm talking about the large connector from the motherboard.) ... plug in PSU and flip power switch on back if it has one. If nothing happens it is most likely dead and you need a higher wattage PSU replacement.
if any of you can help thats great. All of a sudden when i turn on my computer it doesnt boot nothing shows on the screen either it just stays on the power save mode i dont know what is goin on here and i have tried some things like putting in a different video card and seeing if thats the case i also dont here noise comin gout of my hd and its old maybe it died but still i should be able to see somthing on the monitor or it least it should get out of power save mode righT? well sys specs : if you need anything else just tell me, it was bought quite a few years ago "customized hp" and i did a few upgrades. any suggestions would be great.
