Ok, so my rig is the one indicated in my signature line. The other day I was trying to hook up my external drive via firewire. Well, in a noob move, I didn't check before putting it in, and it turns out I was actually putting the firewire cable into the ethernet port on my mobo. My computer suddenly powered down and I haven't been able to get it back up since. When I press the power button absolutely nothing happens. I cracked open the case and the lights on the motherboard itself won't turn on either, so it doesn't seem like it's getting any power whatsoever.
Any ideas on what might have happened? Or, even better, how I might fix it? I find it hard to believe that what I did would kill the power supply, but perhaps it did. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
