5 mins ago i was surfing the net as usual when suddenly my pc powered down as if i had pulled the plug on it. Now it doesnt wanna come back on- it doesnt respond at all when i try to turn it on, it just sits there like it isnt plugged in. I also can see that the mobo lights arent on but my screen and mouse charger are alive.
Does this mean my psu is dead? It's a generic one and was making a slightly metallic smell a few days ago, which made me suspicious of it..
Sounds like it.
Bored of the old one, new one coming soon
Swap the PSU and hope it hasn't fragged anything :|
pull the power cable out the back for 10 minutes, then plug it back in n try again...
Wow, thanks mate, that worked! What does it mean?!Originally Posted by [GSV]Trig
I'd change your PSU, or your CPU could be overheating?

Changing PSU tomorrow, and i'm pretty sure my cpu is fine as i have it in a well ventilated spot, with a pretty powerful heatsink + some arctic silver for good measure.
One of those things....
AFAIK n this could be BS, I'm no electrician but most PSU's have a thermal fuse thingy in them, when theres a minor spike/fluctuation in the mains it trips out the same as any normal fuse would do but it'll reset itself after a while if u remove the power...
Like I say, could b BS could b true...
