    Hi Guys,

    My computer seems to have died overnight.

    I am getting no indication of power to the computer when i plug it in with the exception of a flash of the power light on the front of the case when i unplug the power.

    All internal wiring appears to be solid and undamaged. I tried bypassing the power button but it did not help.

    The PSU fan does not start nor does any other fans etc.

    I would think that it is the PSU that has died but would appreciate any other ideas before i replace it.

    The computer is a self build about a year old. Intel Core2, MSI board

    Thanks


    Shane

    sounds like the PSU died. if it "burnt out" u can usually smell it! u could take one from another PC & install or check for voltages to make sure.

    No spare PSU or voltage tester.

    Will pick one up anyway and could use it for something else in the future.

    Thanks
