My old DAW (recording computer) is kaput (temporarily I hope).

Hi all, I was turning on my 2003 home build DAW With Antec Sonata Case Asus MoBo P4 3.2 Gig Northwood chip CPU.

I was in Vegas so I turned off my power to the Battery Backups and turned the backups off as well and unplugged them from the wall. When I got home, I needed to burn some CD's of my newer works so I turned the power on and it started booting without the sound card or Monitor turned on so I pushed the power button to shut it off and it kinda clicked and did a double click and the on light started blinking. I immediately unplugged it because it would not shut off. Now the light comes on but the computer will not boot or even attempt to boot.

Any ideas? I am thinking Power Supply

Thanks for any and all help provided.

 

Hi, does the PSU make any noises - fan going?
If not it could be the first unit to try. Neil.

 

Swapping supplies with a known good one is what I would try first.

 

Thanks I tried a new case but the whole schlemiel is deader than a doornail. I have decided to build a new recording computer and just get the data off the old hard drives. Thanks for your answers
