Well I expected something like this.
I installed a bunch of new parts on Friday night, namely;
Opteron 148 (no OC'ing done)
XFX 7900GT
Asus A8N-SLI-Deluxe
Got it sorted and for all of Friday and Saturday morning it ran just great. However I went away Saturday daytime and when I got back Sunday morning and went into the PC room I smelt the faint smell of burning electrics, went to turn the PC on and... nothing.
My PSU is a 580w Hiper TypeR which I thought would be more than adequate for what I run on it;
(previously mentioned parts)
3x HDD's
2X DVD-Roms
2X 120mm Fans
Now.. I was worried that the PSU may have been on it's way out before, as I kept getting constant random restarts, but obviously being stupid I decided to disregard this as everything but a power problem but the restarts stopped when I took out my X-Fi front bay of all things.. :/
All I get when I go to turn the PSU on is big nothing.. until I remove the power lead from the PSU when it'll seem to come to life for about half a second then do nothing. So I'm pretty sure it's toast.
I'll RMA it to Hiper soon as, but for the moment I need a new PSU,
I'm looking at these two;

as I've heard them mentioned.
It's a bugger, no PC build has ever gone straight forward for me, there's always at least one problem.
Any advice on PSU's or mockery of my stupidy welcomed :)
