Hey guys, so today every time I shut down my computer it would automatically restart itself. So I decided to just unplug the powercord from the psu. Now it won't turn on at all.

Idk if somehow I fried the psu by unplugging it while there was power to it. The only other thing I can think is maybe the case switch is broken because my front pannel usb ports stopped working shortly before I tried to shut it off.

What should I do?

**UPDATE**
I had a different power switch lying around and I tested it out to determine that the psu is the only thing effecting the computer turning on or not.

The psu is making a faint chirping noise and when you cut power to it, it gets more high pitched and stops.

Yeah, the case is clean. I give it regular cleaning about every 2 months. I'm just going to run out to radio shack tomorrow to pick up a power supply tester and if its bad, ehh I needed to upgrade anyway seeing as I'm switching to water cooling in the near future.
