Hey guys,
I turned my computer off at the wall before I went home for Christmas, when I came back I went to turn it back on but as soon as I flicked the switch on the wall the PC started up... then died 3 seconds later.
Then after about 8 seconds it would turn itself back on... then die, then keep looping.
I've had a couple of times where it's managed to get to the POST, but only once where it's been on long enough for the screen to turn on (LCD takes a while)...
First thoughts are that the power supply is on the blink - it's a 520w corsair modular job, but I was running 2x4870s which was probably testing it somewhat. I tried taking out one of the cards but it has made no difference.
So. Does everyone recommend I shell out on a new PSU (ie: this 750w one).
I'm thinking of replacing the 4870s with 6870s which will pull less power, but probably good to have some headroom...
What I'm not keen on doing is shelling out a ton on something which may not sort out the issue
Thoughts?
PS - Spec as per the 'My System' bit on the left.
