Alright so i've got a compact presario that i use as a secondary computer. I recently just bought a new computer and put the presario downstairs, so i had do disconnect everything and take it down there. When i hooked everything back up and turned it on, everything comes on except the actual computer. The monitor and speakers both turn on but the tower wont turn on. Theres like a little green light in the back that blinks and then the green light in the front blinks too. I've tried waiting for like an hour and then going to turn it on but it still wont. Anybody know whats going on here?

Great!


Make sure its a Antec or Thermaltake. They are good-quality products!
