YES. When you first push the power button your PC runs a electric diagnosis every time. If it finds even the slightest error it will power down. If your hard drive is causing a short it will prevent the PC from powering on. You probably will get a very brief, say half a second, flash of the power light or a quarter turn on the fans. Best thing to do is unplug the power connection from the hard drive. If the PC powers on (it will not boot up) and stays on then the hard drive needs replacing. If the PC doesn't power on then keep unplugging components one at a time until the PC starts. Tip: Unplug PC from wall outlet before unplugging each component.
