When I try to switch it on, the power led blinks 3 times in succession, waits for a while and blinks 3 times in succession again, and so on.
Fan doesn't come on, harddisk doesn't come on, nothing comes on. Only thing is the blinking power led.
I know that my cmos battery was dying before, but surely even if it dies, the desktop would at least go to the bios screen/fan at least come on???
Any ideas?

with regard to what might reason it to take place. may well be a pandemic or some form of spyware an infection. once you bypass to power it back on, you mentioned you get an orange gentle & then it is going out. Assuming it is the ability gentle on the front of the computer tower, it may be 2 issues: power grant or mom Board. Which looks which you will already know that. With the difficultchronic question. you will be waiting to circulate one difficultchronic to a distinctive computer. merely undergo in techniques, that as quickly as you turn that difficultchronic to a distinctive computer, you would be hooking as much as a distinctive Motherboard. reasons why it won't be able to be Booting off that difficultchronic, is that it is not spotting the Motherboard it is now hooked as much as. i've got self belief in case you reformat the difficultchronic (Reinstall homestead windows, ect...), that could desire to paintings. I ran in to this earlier & once I reformatted the difficultchronic, it worked.
