Ok so today my parents computer shut down all of a sudden. Normal computing was being done when all of a sudden the tower just goes off. There was some fan noise early today (although did anyone tell me so I could look at it before something happen? noooo).

So I let the whole thing cool down...the power supply feels extremely hot and the CPU and the hard drive feel hot but that's pretty normal. Pressing the power button flicks the green on light for a second but then shuts off. I have also tried to switch out the power cord to no avail.

Is this strictly the need of a new power supply?

Could there have been a problem with the motherboard or as a result of a blown power supply the motherboard would stop working if a new power supply was supplemented?

I don't know if I smelled just hot dust or smoke when I opened the box so I can't help you there either.

Thanks,

X

Was it the power supply? Sounds like a blown PSU to me. Typically, power supplies don't take out secondary components when they fail, but it does happen from time to time (for instance, my fried stick of brand new OCZ RAM).

If it's a smaller resistor, you can probably replace it with a cheap one of similar ohm-rating from Radio Shack. You've got a soldering iron, right?
