Dead powersupply on Monday morning, up and running by Wednesday afternoon. The marvel of amazon Prime! Now remind me, what do I do with two DAWs?

Dead powersupply on Monday morning, up and running by Wednesday afternoon. The marvel of amazon Prime! Amen! Last week my Wife's laptop 5400 RPM HDD started going bad and my order for the same size SSD replacement came in the same day! Great to be in a metro city area. Glad you're up and running!

I have been using EggHead for shippments recently. Every thing comes from China with 10-20 shipping. The fed-ex tracking generally has no information until it hits Ohare Airport. I really have to stop doing this.

The fed-ex tracking generally has no information until it hits O'hare Airport. Speaking of O'hare (and small worlds), back in the 80s while going to college, I worked at the Addison UPS hub during this time of year. A lot of the trucks went to and came from O'hare.

Today, the OLD DAW died a second time! Power supply appears to fine as the fans are going, but nothing else. No boot, no lights other than power, no mouse, no screen, no HDD sounds. I didn't expect this. I have an emergency Win 10 boot CD I will try, but otherwise, Time to formulate new plans.

This is with the new power supply you just bought, right?
This sounds like hardware, and your backup Windows disk won't even get read. My money is on the motherboard.
Try unseating and reseating everything on the motherboard you can: RAM, and cards. Blow off all the dust when all these are out. If that doesn't work, carefully remove the cooler and CPU and reseat the CPU with new thermal paste.
But first: Does the motherboard have a diagnostic LED, and if so, is it giving a code? Is it even on? Or does your motherboard give beep codes?

In the current issue with the dead DAW, a 5 year old Dell XPS 8920, hearing the fans and seeing the power light tells me the 1 week old power supply is functional. However, if it is the problem, this machine is toast since I will not troubleshoot that any further. With no signs of attempted boot or even loading of mouse or keyboard drivers, no lights, no sounds, could be some where else on the mother board. Again, I am not interested in troubleshoot the MB. I can however, test the boot drive by inserting the recovery/rescue CD with Win 10. Otherwise, I have already pulled two HD's out of the case to move to the new DAW. I'll let you know how the rescue disk works. Try unseating and reseating everything on the motherboard you can: RAM, and cards. Blow off all the dust when all these are out. If that doesn't work, carefully remove the cooler and CPU and reseat the CPU with new thermal paste. Ya, I can do some of that. That thermal paste trick was used to save one of my earlier machines but that machine would start but then quickly overheat. But I sent it to my guy to do that. I don't have a guy at this time.

Long live the New: Win11, i7(12thGen), 32GB RAM, 1TBSSD (boot), 2TB HDD (VI Libraries), 1TB HDD (Data)

A failed capacitor is likely all it is, but they're not exactly easy to replace unless one cas the right kit ... I do, but even I probably wouldn't bother. 5 yo is surprisingly young, IMHO.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

And, even if you finally fix it, you have a 5 year old computer again.
It's like tires. Never patch. Always buy new.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Don't know if you're interested but +++ Calhoun Technologies +++ offers a refurbished Dell XPS-8920 motherboard for $111.98. It's a US company based in Las Vegas, NV. They offer new and refurbished computer parts. Since you don't know if the issue or cpu related you might want to ask how much for a motherboard with mounted cpu.
