Im On my New Computer Now. but I want wanting to fix up my old computer to use as a backup. When I plug my computer in and turn it on the power button turns yellow automatically. and I also cant hear the hard drive kick on. What do you think could be wrong with my computer
my friend suggested the power supply could be bad or the hard drive
any suggestions??
I know the computers not in stand by mode because you can wiggle the mouse and push all the keys you want on the keyboard and it still doesnt work.

last time i tried to use it was the other morning and the night before i had it in standby mode and it wouldnt come outta stand by . so I unplugged the computer and tried to trun it on and the light was yellow again... it would never go green, the hard drive would never kick on. the computer doesnt even hum anymore.

I'm not to good with the actual hardware of computers but I will give my best guesses.
1. Maybe the bios is messed up
2. It may be the power thing
3. Don't think it could be the hard drive
4. If it were in stand by I think it would quit out when the power is unplugged or you hold the power button, and if its hibernating then you would just hit the power button, probably neither of those.

You say you want to "fix it up."
How was it working the last time you used it?
