Dell Inspiron 530 Power Problem

My computer wasn't receiving any power at all . I replaced the power supply & it started running again . 4 days after It went out again but now the Power LED is steady amber . Before i changed the power supply there was no type of light on the power LED. I checked all the connections & everything but same Amber light . Any help would be well appreciated !!

 

try unplugging the power supply from everything inside your computer and the reseat your CPU and ram/memory, then plug everything back up and see how it goes, what model power supply do you have and what model computer do you have?

 

The Power Supply is a ATX , 300 Watt Max .

 

Check your system manual page 185.

"Power light blue light — Blinking blue in sleep state; solid blue for poweron
state
amber light — The blinking amber indicates a problem with the
system board. A solid amber light when the system does not
boot indicates that the system board cannot start initialization.
This could be a system board or a power supply problem (see
"Power Problems" on page 77)."
