The other day I was just surfing the web when all of a sudden my PC turned off without warning (the system had been on for some hours).
Thinking not much of it, I turned it back on again, continued using it and it has been running fine for the last few days, including running some intense programs, (rendering, etc).
Yesterday it happened again (whilst surfing), and now it won’t turn back on.
Now I’m not saying it definitely isn’t the psu, although the psu is practically brand new (see my last problem). However the LED on the motherboard and LEDs on my peripherals are all on.
If I power off and on via the switch on the back of the psu, and then press the on button, the power LED on the case will flash once, but after that – nothing.
I’ve tried unplugging all the drives from the psu to see if it will boot, but it still will not.
Any ideas?
