Which fan -
If it's only the one on the PSU, then it could be the on-off switch or the
connections to/from it and the MOBO
or it may be the PSU itself
If it's the fan on the CPU, then it's more likely to be the MOBO or PSU
itself
hi Jim! Yes I suspect you are right. It only has 1 fan and that is the one
attached to the CPU. I am getting a new computer this weekend but I'm still
curious as to what happened. I'm going to swap out the HD and see what
happens. If I can get this old computer to run I can leave it home and
install Linux which will probably run well on it. Since things cannot get
any worse I might as well tinker with the parts. Thanks for the
information.

Not sure anyone inexperienced with electronics should be poking about inside
the case when it's powered up, but a meter to see if there is power getting
to the on-off switch may help - perhaps a local store could determine what's
duff and replace it for you for less than £100
I suspect you're really into the new system stage - and see what you can
salvage from the old system
With basic systems costing about £250 - is it worth the £100 - you could
always put the drive into a new box as a second (backup) drive.

It was set at 230V so that was correct. I did not change the setting. The
only thing different was the addition of the nic card. It was working
fine
before the addition.

I cannot get the system to respond to anything. I cannot even turn it on
or
off. When I plug it into to ps only the fan responds; otherwise it is
dead.
