 power supply help needed
hi everyone...
i have a problem with a power supply for an ATX tower, on a p4 Mother board.
on 1st boot, the pc started up fine, with the usual beeps that you get wiht a new pc.
The case fan, and the CPU fan all spun, and everything appeared in good working order.
I switched the PC off, disconnected it from the mains, and added my sound card.
I put the pc on again, it booted then switched itself off almost immediately, i tried again, and the CPU fan spun for about half a second then just stopped.. the Case fan did not work at all.
Having removed everything from the PC except for the Processor, heat sink and fan, and trying to boot up again, i still have no success and there is now power going to the PC...
However, my keyboard has a little "on light" which works when i switch the power supply on (using the switch at the back of the atx case). Nothing else works though.
is thre anyway i can test the power supply with an electrical testing kit?
does this sound like a power supply problem or is something else awry.
thanks for your help.
