A steady or Amber blinking power button indicates a low voltage problem. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard. Just to make sure that nothing else is causing the problem, remove any PCI cards like modem, video card, sound card, etc... Remove the memory modules and disconnect cables to CD/DVD drives. Look at the USB ports to see if any are damaged.
This issue happens when your computer is using or requiring a large amount of power source or the power supply is simply dying out already. You may want to update the BIOS. If the problem perists, replace power supply.
Ok to troubleshoot it, connect the PSU to the MotherBoard ONLY, test, you may find that with it connected to the MB only it doesn't work, remove RAM and check, if PSU still No Go then MB is faulty if OK, add devices, DVD, Hard Drive, one at a time untill you find one that stops the PSU, that is ya faulty bit. replace it.
Blinking yellow/amber light indicates PS not operating within specs. You can look at replacing the PS but might need to find out if something else caused the PS problem, such as other components caused the PS to overheat, etc. Were you having any problems with any of the drives? Strange noises etc?
