PC Won't turn on after tripped breaker

[Pudding889]

So yesterday the main circuit breaker randomly tripped whilst my PC was turned on and after I had flipped the switch back on my PC wouldn't power up. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks

possibly fried the power supply. you can try to unplug it from the wall for a minute and try.

I've already tried that and nothing. I've also tried multiple different power cables and also replacing the cmos battery but nothing.

then i would suspect the power supply itself died.

Your motherboard may also have been damaged by the power surge. didn't you have it on a surge protestor outlet board?chalk up one fried computer.

hey, sounds like your psu has blown and like what simonchipmonk said above who knows what else it has blown in the process. i would suggest just trying a new psu for now, what make psu do you have? as some psu's have thermal overloads and inline fuses built into them, so hopefully its popped one of the fuses internally in the psu and that should have stopped it frying anything else in your pc, but only buying a new psu will decide that.

I agree with you RobCherry. if replacing the PSU doesn't solve the problem,then you have to consider that it may have damaged the motherboard also.
