Hi,.... have WXP2 with IE7....had a power outage when I was surfin the net,
power was restored moments later but my PC seems to be "hanging?". It seems
to be running hard but nothing happens.(light flicking rapidly). I cant even
turn it off. SO.....I disconnected power then reconnected and it just starts
running again without actually startingup. Nothing on monitor. Any
ideas?...Hope its something simple ...like "Just hit the reset button"..lol

If I was troubleshooting this problem I'd borrow an old PSU from somebody
and swap it with the one in my PC - if you're lucky it will just be a hosed
PSU.

If that doesn't work I'd disconnect all non-essential components (optical
drives, sound and video cards, etc) and try it again. If it works then plug
each component back in one at a time to identify which one is the culprit.
If it doesn't work I'd be suspecting a fried motherboard.

On the other hand I've never been that good at diagnosing hardware faults so
get advice from others here first.

Please don't go poking around in your PC case if you're not sure what you're
doing. You may make the problem worse, or more serious still kill yourself.

Adding to Ed advice, you may have a burnt components like CPU, Motherboard
is dead.
It looks like you are not that savy in computer my advice to you take the
machine to your local Repair shop and let them examine it for you, they will
be able to determine if it a motherboard/CPU or the Power supply or your HDD
is dead, also if you have a valuable Data they can rescue it for you ( ask
how much it cost first).
HTH.
