[SOLVED] Did my power supply go bad?

[iGameHard]

So recently my PC stopped booting and couldn’t even make it into the BIOS. I’ve been a bit busy recently, but I finally got a chance to work on it today. I noticed that when I turned it all all the fans and LEDs on my mobo and gpu turned on but the fan on my power supply didn’t. I tried testing some other parts just to see what would happen and it ended up booting with one stick of RAM. Now, I’ve put all the RAM back in and it’s working perfectly, except for the fact that my power supply fan still isn’t running. Should I be concerned?

Some power supplies have a 0rpm mode for silent operation. They won't spin up until you put a decent load on it. Do you have such a model?

If you don't, then yes, it can be a problem: You can run into scenarios where the psu shuts off because it's running too hot, after which it'll refuse to power on until it has cooled down.

Okay thank you so much for the help! I didn’t realize it had that feature until now. After looking up my model I found that it does have 0rpm mode. Thanks again for your help!

Might want to go to the PSU manufacture's website, check out the actual tech specifications and find out if your PSU actually has a Zero RPM mode.

Another great option to get specific answers would be to actually tell us what the PSU is. Without that information, it's like asking an auto repair forum how to fix "car" or getting some medical advice about "sickness."
