PSU dead?

jasonx165 · 10-20-2009, 05:29 PM

Ok, so I go to turn on my computer this morning I get no response. The only response I get is the PSU flickering its blue LED llight for a split second then nothing..the PSU itself was transfered onto this computer which is a new one baroley a month old..the PSU is about a year old so could it be the PSU or the motherboard? althought the mother board is barley a month old

If the power light on the PSU flickered, then it means your PSU is faulty. Try testing the machine with another one.

If your PSU failed it could have taken the MB with it. Switch your ram around and see if it makes a difference. Also might want to check the HDD light is it flashing as if it is loading even though no video? Do you have onboard video?
