aaaw Dan what can I say that is hard luck, probably something simple like a power supply I hope.

New PC spec looks great, I notice its VR ready too, wish my PC was.

Good luck with getting the old computer back up running soon as well.

Nice, Dan.

You use virtual instruments and plugins, right? Next purchase might be another two sticks of RAM.

I plan to move a number of elements from the old DAW into the new DAW. Including an extra 16 gig of RAM and a 2Tb HDD.

Since I have never cared about asking questions that sound stupid, I will continue with the tradition and ask this. Did you unplug the cable from the power supply, and I mean at the computer side, and reconnect and try again? I have had Dells (and I have 6 of them right now) that for some odd reason I can't explain the DOA computer rebooted after doing that. If somebody here who knowns electronics can answer why that worked, please chime in. I have no idea at all why that would work.

The upside is now you will have a brand new computer! AND your old one.

I just Hibernate (you may have to enable this option in the power manager), this way you can leave all the running apps open.
You can leave the mains on but you are best to turn it off so you don't have standby power in the power supply.
I have done this since XP without really any issues.

Eddie, I’m pretty good at diagnosing computer problems, but I have no explanation for that.

Well, it looks great! (but does it come with any other color options?) - quickly ducks and runs like crazy for cover crazy

Seriously, I hope it's fantastic. smile

Don't forget about surge protection for your new investment smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Actually an uninterruptable power supply with surge built in is a wise investment for your prime PC.

uninterruptable power supply with surge built Fully integrated and installed in the 5 year old Dead Dell. Would not run without one. Dispite that I have still banking on Dead Powersupply. I have a replacement comeing tomorrow which I will install and am hopeful to bring the old Dell back to life. New PC arrives Friday.

Without knowing anything for sure, but have been in electronics my whole life, there may be a trickle current keeping something alive in the Dell that only goes away when you unplug it fully. This is true with many electronic devices and the only way to do a complete reset is to unplug. But as I say, this is pure conjecture on my part.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Also many computer power supplies have a built-in circuit breaker that, if it trips, resets only after AC power is removed from the power supply for more than 30 seconds.

This power supply has exactly that. A red button hidden on the under carriage. I hit that button and the fan spun for an instant, (the final dying moments of a capacitor), then nothing. I believe it is dead! But before I gut it out, and put a new one in, I will reconnect all and try one final time. The transplant is scheduled for tomorrow (based on 2-day Amazon delivery of the replacement PS). I will let you all know.

Disconnect all output power cables except for cable that powers the motherboard. Something is sending the power supply into fault mode. If the power supply won't stay on when just connected to motherboard then either motherboard, ram or cpu is bad.

Also, make sure power supply fan turns and power supply is not clogged with dirt.

How about the UPS? Any chance it went bad? Plug the PC direct to power to bypass the UPS.

So that means you replaced the bad power supply? Very good.
