    Seems like my desktop won't start up, so until further notice I won't be playing. I'll be in the forums instead..

    Hopefully.. thank God for laptops, although cs won't work on it.. I'll try working on the desktop computer though, see if it needs to be dusted or something.

    I've looked online, I figure the problem is with the power source, since there's only one outlet in the room, everything that is connected, including the computer, is through a power cord extension. Everything like the printer works fine, even the monitor, but for some reason, the computer won't boot up. The power button is flashing in orange.. Like I said, I've looked through different forums, people say its the power source, so I'm going to try and turn the computer on in a different room... Also, there wasn't much to dust, it was fairly clean on the inside. Will keep working on it. Any advice? Woody? :)

    So you see the yellow power button light up on the computer but the computer wont boot up? Or is the computer tower not getting any power at all? Also what kind of computer is this?

    Yellow power button light's up, doesn't boot. I'm talking about the computer, not the monitor.
    The computer is plugged in correctly, everything in place.
    it's a dell.
    here's how it looks.

    Dell :(

    Dells are horrible only authorized dell personal can work on their computers or get parts for them sadly. I would take off the side panel and check out your power supply (its the big square box, that all wires run too). See if any wires wiggled loose.

    Ok, I'll look inside again, but for now I gotta run out and do a few errands. Will check back in with more photos later of what the inside looks like.

    Ok, so I've looked inside. I gave up posting the photo idea, everything inside looks alright, no wire is loose, everything is plugged in the way it's supposed to. I guess I'll take it to a place where they fix computers.. Here in Chicago you definitely don't need to go to a dell specialist for anything, the people I go to have their ways of getting necessary parts for all computers... So hopefully I'll be back in a few days.. Thanks for your help Woody :)
