Ok, one day, I turned on the surge protector to power up my Gateway 420GR Desktop Computer. (My computer was on hibernate, and if I don’t turn the power surge off at night, my computer turns on in the middle of the night. So when I turn the surge back on, then the computer fires up) For the first 2 or 3 seconds, It was turning on perfectly. (Including the first few seconds it takes to show the manufactures splash screen) and then all of the sudden, I heard everything go quite, and the only thing I saw was the power light. Nothing else. Help! I do not want to go inside the computer unless it is absolutely necessary. I am having new ram coming soon,(2×512) so if it is a ram problem, that I can fix that. :3

The computer wasn’t on hibernate if the surge protector was off. The computer was off once you shut the surge protector.
Either way, chances are the power supply is bad.
