My wife's computer stopped working the other day. She would push the power
button and nothing would happen. I guessed ot was either the power button

power. Any ideas?

I'd say the 1st idea should be to determine if there is power getting
to the computer--seen too many bad power cords to assume it is 'delivering'.
Next idea: do a Google search and find and follow follow a seemingly sound

down) rather than guessing what's wrong. hth, s

Ask elsewhere

Go away. The OP is asking in the right newsgroup. The question is valid and this newsgroup is for hardware issues like the OP has.
 
Start at the AC outlet, the power cord, then proceed to the PC.

In what you've tried so far, you didn't mention the power supply. What
should the reader assume regarding that?

So where is the relation to the OS, or did you miss the letters X and
P in the group title?

Ass.
 
That is, hardware with the modifier "windowsxp". That's the way I look at
this particular newsgroup.

Not the other way around. The reverse way of looking at it is running
windowsxp, and, hardware involved in that. In that case "windowsxp" is the
primary, not the modifier. That seems to be the buttout reasoning, although
in my opinion backwards.
