Will a power supply work if it is not grounded?

[explorer]

I just bought an Antec 350 watt power supply that does not work. When I plug it in there is no sign of life, or power, no fans no leds nothing. I have a pretty old house and my power outlets are not grounded, will that prevent my power supply from starting. I am not sure if it is a dead power supply or if it is my power outlets. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

A bad source of power could very well be your problem. If your house is old and the electrical work isn't so good then I could see that as being a good reason to mess your system up. You could try pluging it in somewhere else where you know the power source is good. A friends house perhaps or work.
