my computer shut down for an unknown reason. i've checked all of my power connections, which are good. i know power is being received by the machine because the stand by and memory power LEDs are lit on the motherboard . however, the main power LED is not lit. so is it my motherboard that has a problem or the power supply?
thanks,
ted

I am just saying what I would try first.

crunchie,
i'm hoping it is the PSU, but would the LEDs for power stand by and memory be on if it is a PSU issue? I was thinking it was a motherboard issue. thanks,

Try to clear CMOS can be one of the reason.
i would like to agree with crunchie about the psu if not you should check the power switch.
