Ok, i think my computer.... is dieing?

A bit ago i upgraded my PSU well bout 3 months ago one of the fans in it went out. I wasn't to bothered by this because it had 2 other fans in it working. Well my computer runs at an average of 89F and I usually cut it off at night (due to the bright blue glow it gives off and i cant sleep.)

Well to cut to the chase the other day I was using my computer, (trying to get someof my video clips onto DVD's) downloaded some software, convertx to dvd and some others like that, and so i leave the room, come back and my computer has shut down. :confused: I know i had this thing on earlier.

So i boot back up, everything is fine, Same thing happens, leave room, computer is shut down when i get back. WTF? :confused: Finally get computer back up, wants me to start in safe mode. So Im using my computer, this time it just powers off while im using it. Huh?

Cant power it back up? Nothing.
Take computer apart, check for burnt spots, see nothing.
After about 5mins or so, I can power computer back up... Video card not working, no signal to monitor.
Im going to see if i can find a vga cable today to see if onboard graphics still works.

Plas Plas help, if anyone has had this problem before please help. I can't live with out my computer!:rolleyes:


Asus motherboard

AreoCool PSU think its a 550w for SLI
Thats what i got now.
 
But it will boot back up.I can actually get it to power back on. Just now my Graphics card doesnt read.... like at all.
Talked to a guy where i work and he said his did the same thing but he couldnt ever get it straight again. I really hope that is not my case.


Sorry about the wait in replying. heh i didnt realize how much i love my computer. <cry>
 
could the PSU be overheating?

do you live in a dusty enviroment?

do you have "dirty" electricity? flickers, etc.

I lived in an apartment that ate PSU's, I bought a power filter (it was designed for A/v) and it stopped happening. I assume based on its weight, its a capacitor/battery that then runs the power back through some sort of sinewave converter so you get nice "clean" (free of spikes and drops) power..

I don't know if an APC does this as well.
