Ok well i hooked up a new power supply and it did nothing.Its the same as before with just the fans humming so now it seems like its either my HD or the mobo is toast.
Actually when i hooked up the Power Supply,for the life of me,i couldn't attach the plug that goes into the floppy disk so i left it out and im not sure if that would make a difference.

You see two small lights then that means it could be your motherboard that is fucked.... or if you only have 1 stick of RAM then it could be ram ... But if you have 2 sticks, then that is your mobo

i stuck my big nose inside and couldn't make out where the burnt smell was coming from.
Im really limited when it comes to installing hardware.i have installed ram,fams,and now power supply although mobo and HD dont look so easy.
Bah its my own fault i should have known better when i heard whining noise for 3-4 days and didnt jump on it quickly.Especialy knowing that my puter is 5 years old.
Now i have to make a desicion of either taking it the repair guy (i dont like the idea of someone going through a lot of personal info) or just take my lumps and buy a new PC.
Vista or XP? i donkt know,im losing my mind.
