Turned my DAW off last night... This morning it was dead. I never turn it off, runs 24x7. But some of you may suspect why I turned it off?? ... but it is what it is. I have ordered a new power supply from Dell. In the mean time, I got a little crazy and ordered this: total cost with tax and free shipping $1349:

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 smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."
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.
It's not my normal Dell! I wanted something different this time round.
Don't forget about surge protection for your new investment

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.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
