There is the standard PSU guide, offered by HP. Follow each step.

Removal and replace guide: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01358060&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3440605&rul...

 

After the tests (above) , if you suspect the power supply, then replace it.  You need to find an exact replacement in physical size, and ATX plug, because this PSU is a Slimline and is alleged (by vendor) to use a miniature 24pin ATX plug.  I have included a link, as a reference. You should shop it in the UK.

PS> if this solved your problem, please  give me a "KUDO" and mark message as "SOLVED".

I believe in Pavlov's Law. You toss me points, and I perform better.

To say THANK YOU, press the white star on the left, to render a KUDO.
Please click Accept as Solution, just to the right of my reply if your problem is solved.

PS--You can render both Solution and KUDO
