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 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.
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

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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
