Just got home from work and wife tells me she was on the home PC last night and the power on my block went out.Think it was a blown transformer up the block.

Power came back on after 5-6 hours but PC won't boot.Power light on PC comes on and the fans spin but thats it. Blown motherboard maybe? or hard drive?

Unplug it for 5 minutes and try again. Was it on a surge protector?

If that doesn't work I would check the power supply first.(Inside the computer)Might also check main switch on the backside in case wife has messed with it.

Ya was on one but it was not tripped I'll go unplug it for a bit and see what happends

Was she drinking heavily at the time? Maybe she spilled a gin and tonic inside the monitor.

Seriously, if it spins up and you can hear the hard drive turning, but can't get anything on screen, I'd check the obvious stuff first...make sure the monitor is plugged in to both the computer and a power source. If you have a spare monitor, try hooking that up. That sort of thing.

If the hard drive is spinning and it doesn't just hang, but sounds like it is going through the entire boot up process, could be your video board or chip got fried. If the hard drive doesn't spin or it does for a short while but hangs, may be the mother board, memory got fried, CPU got fried, etc. If you pop the cover off and something did get scorched, you might get a visual cue. Otherwise, you may have to take it to a shpo for diagnosis.

Just see the 1st dell screen but thats it tried hitting f2 for setup and nothing. no sound from the hard drive.Just the fans spinning

motherf**ker board.

At least I can blame it on her when I tell her I'm going to buy a new computer.Wanted a new one anyway.

Pick up a UPS also. I have one on all my electronics.

These Brickwall Series Mode Surge protectors are the chit. Won't help with power outages but much better than UPS's for surges, etc...
