Re: Put in new VX450W, Computer still won't switch on...

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies.

I gave the computer to my mum, who said she would get her computer tech at work to look at it.

The thing is, that the computer had not been moved at all, nothing had been changed within the last week of it dying, and it did not exhibit any weird signs at all, before it suddenly switched off when I was loading up counter-strike: source. I can understand if I had moved it arround, or had been doing any work on it, but the computer was entirely stationary :/

I really wish, I had taken out the motherboard to have a look, after hearing it could have been a grounding issue, but alas I was desperate to get it up and running properly again, and I have exams and can't really afford the hassle of messing about all day with it xD

Thanks once again guys ^_^

EDIT: A little thin metal bit fell out (it looks like some sort of clip) when I was installing the new PSU, any idea what it might have been?

Dave
