Shut the power off to the PC(unplug the power cord) press and hold the power switch several times to remove any resudial power, replug and start, if it still does not start it's not in standby mode and will require further troubleshooting.

Hi Wrench97,

I do the procedures you feedback but no sucess..Thanks for the help.

Pre-built like a Dell, HP, Gateway? Brand and Model of the PC?

Custom built Brands and Models of the Motherboard, CPU, Ram, Video Card, Power Supply?

Lets try a CMOS clear, there's a jumper on the board down on the bottom edge, unplug the power press and hold the power button several times, move the jumper cap(probably Blue in color) from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3 wait 10 seconds and move it back, replug the power and see if it boots.

Do you have access to a digital voltmeter?

Yes i have multimeter.
Thnx again.

Test the power supply> Test Your Power Supply

Hi Wrench 97,

Seems like there is a problem with my power supply..when doing the continuity and isolate(unplugged the pc from AC) my PS, i get a reading og 48 to 49 OHMS with respect to my ground(black wire) and my 5V(red wire).
i need to check with the store(still under warranty) my PS.
i will update you again.
Thank you very much.More Power.

I would suggest asking the retailer of the PSU if they would credit you for yours and let you pay the difference to replace it with a better quality 550W or more.
