PC shuts down, won't turn on - bad PSU?
Built a new desktop system about two months ago, everything's been working fine. Today it shut down immediately and will not turn back on. I left it unplugged for about 20-30 minutes, thought maybe it had overheated. When I pushed the power button the fan LED flashed and the fans spin for about one second, then everything quit. Tried again later. Same thing. Then I unplugged everything inside, took out the CMOS battery, put it back in, reconnected the PSU to the motherboard (but no components) and tried to turn it on. Again, same thing.
It had done this a couple times over the weekend - I mean a dead cold shut down, not the normal way - but it always turned back on. Not any more.
Bad PSU? It's a 700W OCZ ModXStream Pro. Been looking at the OCZ site for info., too. Looks like mine is dead, but wondering if it could be something else?
