PSU failing? Should I be concerned?

Until he thinks about all of the other garbage he wasted money on instead of a replacement over the same two years :p
But looking back through his threads he hardly bought any of that stuff, just the CPU cooler!

I'm really amazed that your machine is actually still running. Almost 2 years on a bad PSU, not bad going eh! ;) http://www.computerforum.com/threads/dying-randomly-blackouts.230333/
I'm really surprised too. I honestly thought it would have caught on fire or violently exploded by now, but like an old Civic it keeps on truckin' along! ;) Plus I never shut off the PC, I keep it on 24/7 and I use TeamViewer to remotely play Fallout 4 from my schools computer lab sometimes :D

Yeah, the only things I've actually gone through with are the new CPU cooler, new RAM, and replacing some bad fans.

Yeah, but unlike a Civic your power supply isn't manufactured using a perfect Japanese manufacturing technique and it certainly doesn't feature a VTEC engine which means that one day it will die. I don't think Civics die as easily as this PSU seems to have. :p I'm not trying to encourage you to keep going with it, I'm just trying to point that you've had these issues for nearly 2 years now, thought you may have replaced by it now? ;)
