    Power Supply problem?

    OK - got a system that's been absolutely rock solid for a good year - now it won't boot - I press the on button, fans spin, and then nothing - no beep codes, just whir of fans.

    Tried removing all the various bits - still won't boot without any hard disks and with either stick of RAM taken out or with no graphics card, I've checked all the power connections / removed all unnecessaries and the bugger still won't give me that nice "all ok" beep.

    I'm not barking up the wrong tree when I guess that it's probably the PSU no longer being able to supply the necessary juice, is it? I mean, it could be the motherboard, but that's really the less likely option here, right?

    If so - suggestions for a new unit\would be excellent please - it's potentially got to power a decent athlon 64 system with a x800gto2...
