Vostro 260 PSU

[spellman1989]

Ok I am working on my churches computer. First the problem was the hard drive somehow went out randomly so I checked it by plugging it into another pc and it froze the computer. So I replaced the mb on the hard drive just so I could back up the data onto the new hard drive. Then when I went to plug in the vostro 260 again I got a blinking green light on the psu and a blinking amber light on the mobo itself. I used another psu from another pc just to see if it would boot the pc and it did. My question is what would cause it to do that all of a sudden when it powered on the pc no problem the day before? Is there anyway to save the psu that came out of it?

It could cost more money to repair a power supply then replace it best to be safe then sorry you can find a cheap PSU name brand well under 50 bucks with rebates and you wont have to worry about these issues later.

I tried a power supply of the same wattage and it was too big to fit the case so is there a specific kind or size I would need? I know its a mini-tower pc but would it be micro-atx or mini-atx or standard?
