Of course it wouldn't be the plug...
Maybe a power supply?
Look for puffed up capacitors on the motherboard.

Subject: Computer Died-Help!

I was using my relatively new "home made" desktop computer (about 6 months
old) when all of a sudden the monitor went black. I was copying some files
to a Lexar Jumpdrive at the time.

It is a Gigabyte motherboard, Pentium 4, 3Ghz processor, 1GB OCZ memory.  It
is not overclocked in any way. Thinking this was just a spontaneous re-boot,
I waited but nothing happened.

I turned off the power, waited a few seconds and turned it back on. Nothing!

Black screen.

No BIOS screen, no memory check, nothing.

I tried a couple of times and same thing.

How do I diagnose this?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
Steve
