I come home from a long day driving grandparents around and come in to a pc that I turned off before I left. I now find that the PC isn't starting nothing happens when I push the buttons no beeps, no screen nothing. I do see that the motherboard is getting power through a green light that is always on when power is running into the pc. Any suggestions?

Jump to Postyes you should get a newer- higher capacity power supply. Suppose you have a 300 watt right now. Go for a 500 watt. depending on how much wattage you have get a higher wttage power supply.

Hmm from what it sounds like your power supply might not giving your computer enough power. I suggest unpluging everything from the power supply and mmobo except for the motherboard, processor, and ram, and see if it turns on.
