On the back of your power supply if you slide the switch to the voltage for your house (110V or 220V) and it still doesn't work, try the following:
1. Make sure the toggle switch on the power supply is in the on position.
2. This is important; is the power cord firmly pushed into your power supply? It can sometimes pop loose just enough not to make a good contact.
3. Last but not least, plug something else in the same wall socket your computer is plugged into to make sure there is electricity.

    I've had more than one "Made in China" power cord go bad with no history of unusual mechanical stress. Try a different power cord.

Many computer power supplies have a 120/240 input voltage selector switch. If yours has one, it would be visible on the back of the computer within a few inches of the power cord socket. Make sure it's in the 240 V position. If you applied 240 V with the switch in the 120 V position, you may have blown a fuse or worse in the power supply.

There are also "universal" power supplies, which are supposed to run on anything from 96 to 270 volts. Those would not have an input voltage selector switch.

That appears to be an auto sensing supply, replace it.

    Can i upgrade my graphics card in my acer aspire z3101-u4062

    Usually those little all in ones have onboard memory like a laptop and are ont really intended to be upgraded... however I concur with John B if the PC had a free PCI or PCI-E slot you could pop a video card in there. I did a quick google and it seems this model does not have expansion slots.

    I also found this, someone just like you wanted to upgrade the video card, and also could not:

    Power conversion from UK to US

    You need to check the rating plate on your power supply

    If it was bought in the UK it will be set for 240v 50 hz

    The US power supply will be 110v 60hz the supplies are not switchable re power input.

    Acer AL2002W Monitor

    For DVI you need to probably upgrade your cheap graphics card, something not that expensive would be a ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro, it'll do. May want to check what pwer supply maybe required on your PC.
