Hmmm......I first I recommend you test your computer with a spare power supply. Borrow a friends if they have one or purchase a new one for temporary testing and make sure to keep the receipt just in case you will have to return it later.

If you do get the compute booting after you install the new power supply, test your hard-drive for any errors. I recommend downloading a good program called "powermax".

Put the program onto a CD and boot the computer to it. Follow the on-screen instructions and test your hard-drive for any errors.
