Random computer crashing

Okay everyone! My brother swapped out my power supply for a brand new one of
400W, cleaned out my case, fixed a couple of LED's in the front panel - and
guess what?

PCLinuxOS is dead. Completely and utterly dead. I booted from the hard drive
and the livecd. Same thing. After the "Booting the system..." gauge, it gets
to a black screen with a cursor (text cursor - it looks like an underscore
"_"). That's it. Nothing. I hit ESC for verbose mode, and everything boots
up just fine, no complaints. Then, when it goes to graphical mode its just
stuck. I've never ever ever had that problem with PCLinuxOS. I've never had
to use a cheatcode. Or a boot command. Nothing. I just put it in and it
worked. For a year now :( And now its broke.

Anyone have any guesses as to *why* this is happening and what I can do? I
tried going into the bios and reloading all my defaults and everything is
set properly. But still a no-go.
