My system wont boot up, it is in power save mode. I
attempt to boot the system, and it just sits there,
doesn't even get as far as checkin the drives, so a boot
disk wont work. I tried putting a cd in the cd rom but
that didnt snap it out of it, I've added peripherals, and
still it is in power save mode. What the hell should I do
now, I can't even reformat the damn thing cause it doesn't
boot up at all, sounds like the fan is the only thing that
turns on.

Hi,

Failed Power supply?
Does it show the POST?
Can you access the BIOS?
Is there any display?
Any messages on screen?
