My computer ain't starting

So, does it start when it's cold? If not substitute another PS. If it does
start cold suspect an overheating CPU and replace the HSF (heat sink fan).

I've changed my power supply yesterday. But still it aint working.
I cannot understand what to do.

I meant the power switch as where I get the power from.

A power supply is the most frequent failure point of a personal
computer.
Try replacing that. But before you do, I have to ask. . .

What is the "power switch" you refer to? Are you turning off the
switch on
the power supply every time you shut the computer down? While this
isn't
necessary, that would be OK.

But please tell me that the power supply isn't plugged into some kind
of
switched electrical outlet. -Dave[/quote:fa81a34c06]

It does not even run when the processor is cold.

I guess my heat sink expired a long time ago. But I continued using my
computer for a long time.

What could be the affects?
