I hope you can help...

I was using my pc last night when it suddenly powered off, as it might in a power cut. All other components stayed powered up. I checked all the cables and power switches and changed my supply cable and they were all fine.

Since then it has been dead. Pressing the power on button does nothing. No fans start, no lights come on, no beeps are heard.

I've done a visual inspection of the motherboard and it looks fine, there are no obviously burned out components or capacitors damaged.

So, does it sound like my PSU just died or could there be another explanation before I go out and get a replacement?

If I need a replacement how can I tell if my PSU is AT or ATX as it doesn't say anywhere on the labelling.

Thanks
