Hi All,

When I am switching on my computer the motherboard led is swithing on my system is npt getting switched on.

System Fan or SMPS fan is not working. I even changed the power cable of my system but of no use.

Please guide on what could have gone wrong.

SMPS fan not working means most prolly your SMPS is fried.

Are you hearing any bip sounds while boot up?

^second that. Most likely SMPS is fried. Do you see any light on the motherboard when you switch on the power ? (most motherboards I think have an onboard LED for power status )

Dont keep trying to switch it on, you may damage everything else (if they aren't damaged) try getting a SMPS from someone and test whether the system boots up using it.

Well if check your motherboard on a friend's PC. If it doesnt work there its your mobo that's the problem. Otherwise your can say SMPS. But better if you post your full config along with brand name.
