Sounds like dead power supply. Try a new power supply. It is possible that motherboard went dead too.

Well it depends, sounds like a heating issue... Your power supply should have a fan on it, look and listen to make sure that is going, because it sounds like it is not, if thats the case you will either need to do some slightly tedius work removing the power supply and replaceing the fan, or buy a new one... But if you sure the psu you tested it with works and the computer still didnt boot, well then it might be more, make sure all fans and what not come on and try it

YO MAN! do you have the right wattage, of power SUPPLY. if not that is your problem. it can not be the MOTHERBOARD. you see the power supply feeds the electricity to the motherboard. your problemo is your POWER SUPPLY. make sure is the wattage. 2-the other thing that ma be has happen, your MOTHERBOARD, HAS FRIED ITSELF. CRISPY WITH SPECIAL RECIPE.
question. did you put this computer yourself. if so did you check on the POWER SUPPLY usually in to days computers, OK. depending on the MOTHERBOARD. the POERSUPPLY RANGE FROM 350WT. 400WT. OR 500WT. any thing lower, WILL NOT WORK RIGHT LIKE IS HAPPENING TO YOUR system. ANYTHING HIGHER, WILL Automatically heat up your system and eventually COOK IT CRISPY BUT MEDIAN REAR.
3-WHEN you put this SYSTEM together, HONEST, WHERE YOU DRINKING ANY JAMAICAN RUM. if you were, just if, now. yeah! is well done. MOTHERBOARD.check the power supply. check the power connection fron your motherboard. HANDS OFF THE JUG OF JUMAICAN RUM MAN! .
do not do nothing with this ok, check the POWER SUPLY.. IS ALL IN THE POWER, you may yet salvage it. so start all over again..4- the MOTHERBOARD HAS A FAN, CHECK IT, THE CPU, HAS A FAN CHECK IT.

sound like your cpu fan has hard its life come too a end it may spin when you power up the pc but coz you said the power supply was very hot on the inside sound like cpu fan has gone dont put on the pc any more replace the cpu fan and hope for the best that your pc motherboard is ok coz when a cpu fan has burn out if you have the pc on your only going to have the pc over heat and then the end of the motherboard when you do replace the cpu fan if the pc is ok dont place the pc to the back of a wall allow the cpu fan good room if the back of a pc is up by a wall your cpu fan cant work right and you put your pc in big danger of over heating i wish you all the best and good look

Is anything else hot? There could be a short curcit from the CD drive, the HDD, or the Floppy drive which forces more power back to where it came from, the power supply. What computer r u using and the power supply in watts?

When you try to boot using your previous power supply, if all you get is the fan inside the power supply then your MB is bad as well as the power supply. Otherwise, check to make sure the power supply is properly connected to the MB, drives, etc. I know this sounds easy, but it's important to unplug and replug to test because replacing your MB isn't easy, or cheap if you have to pay. Best of luck.

I would think that if it was a bad power source it would not power up even when cooled down as these usually short out .
Sounds like your processor or mother board is going out.
This could be several things form a bad switch(power button) , loose wire, shorted hard drive, power supply to your boards.
you'll have opt use the process of elimination. MIne die the same and it was once the tramsformer source heating up, and once the mother board.

the reason why the power supply is probaly hot is because the fan failed to keep it cool. Try a diffrent power supply to see if thats the problem. If its not your motherboard is probably dead.
