Bad PSU?

ukulele_ninja · 05-13-2008, 03:52 PM

Ok so my computer has been randomly shutting off for about a week now, and last night it shut off and would only let me get booted into safe mode before it did it again. I checked my ram and tried booting with only one of the three installed each time, but it still did the random shut offs. So I assume this means bad PSU?

can anyone confirm this and for the love of god how do I get a hold of Xions customer support? I called the number on the website and it rings to what sounds like a residential answering machine!

Certainly sounds like the PSU. I've never tried contacting Xion myself, but their website also lists an email which may be worth a go: Rma@xionusa.com

How it's turn off? Any bluescreens ? Anything or just.. IIIIUUUUWWWWMmmmm ? Can be PSU. Maybe you should clean your fans ? That will help I think.
